Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Remove pork and set aside.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes per batch💡 Wskazówki profesjonalistów: Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will steam the pork instead of searing it. - 4
Reduce heat to medium. If there's excess oil, carefully drain some, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons. Add the pork back to the skillet.

Once the pork is tender, uncover the skillet and let any excess liquid reduce slightly, about 5 minutes.
