Pat the pork cubes dry with paper towels and season with 1 tsp of the salt. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork in a single layer ā work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding ā and sear undisturbed for 3ā4 minutes per side until deep golden brown on at least two sides. Transfer the seared pork to a plate and set aside.
