Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, sear the pork chunks on two or three sides for 3–4 minutes per side, until deep brown and releasing easily from the pot. Transfer the seared pieces to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork.
