Pork Salpicao Recipe (Filipino Garlic Butter Pork Bites)
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork loin cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce or 1 tablespoon regular soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons liquid seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 whole head garlic peeled and thinly sliced (about 10 to 12 cloves)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the pork, Worcestershire sauce, dark soy sauce, liquid seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Massage the marinade into the pork until the meat has absorbed most of the liquid. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to overnight.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the pork in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until browned. Once the pork releases its juices, remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
- Continue cooking the remaining liquid until it reduces completely and the butter and oil separate, about 1 minute.
- Return the pork to the skillet and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until evenly coated in the sauce. Be careful not to overcook the pork, or it will dry out.
- Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve with rice. Enjoy!
