Ingredients

1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into bite-sized cubes

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well blended.

Add the cubed pork tenderloin to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for extra flavor).

Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated pork bites in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches).

Sear the pork for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C).

Remove the pork bites from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the bites for a pop of color and fresh flavor before serving.
