Easy Garlic Lemon Pork Bites

Details

  • Number of servings: 4

  • Cook time: ~30 minutes

Ingredients

Pork

  • 2 lbs boneless pork chop (cut into 3/4 inch cubes)

  • ~1 teaspoon onion powder

  • ~1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Sauce

  • 1/2 stick butter

  • 2 (or let’s be honest, 4) cloves of garlic (minced)

  • 1 tablespoon flour (all purpose)

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (fresh grated is always best, cause it’s gonna melt)

  • Juice from 1/2 lemon

Steps

  1. Cut pork into 3/4 inch cubes (consistent size helps with cooking).

  2. Place pork in mixing bowl, season with onion powder, salt + pepper.

  3. In a large skillet (I use 12+ inch) heat olive oil over medium heat.

  4. Sear pork for ~3-5 minutes per side, mixing so it cooks evenly. Brown = flavor, so don’t be afraid to let it get a bit roasty.

  5. Remove pork from skillet and set aside, we’ll get back to it.

  6. In same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in flour until slightly thickened.

  7. Add in chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, salt + pepper + lemon juice.

  8. Let simmer for ~7 minutes, we want it to be thicc.

  9. Add pork bites back in and toss in the Sauce.

  10. If the sauce is still too thin, add a bit more flour or corn starch to thicken.

Notes

  • These pork bites are delicious on their own, or served over rice or quinoa.

  • Don’t be afraid to let things get a little brown. A mustard, caramel color is what you’re aiming for.
