Instructions

Start by evenly coating the pork pieces with onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned pork and sear for 3-5 minutes on all sides until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F, about 13-15 minutes total. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside on a plate, tenting it to keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, allowing the aroma to bloom. Whisk in the flour until the mixture is slightly thickened. Then, pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Finally, add the seared pork bites back to the skillet and toss them in the creamy garlic sauce until they’re evenly coated. Serve the Garlic Pork Bites immediately.

Notes

To ensure your Garlic Pork Bites turn out absolutely delicious, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

– Choose the right pork: Opt for boneless pork chops or tenderloin for the most tender and flavorful results.

– Seasoning is key: Don’t be afraid to generously season the pork with the onion powder, salt, and pepper.

– Sear to perfection: Getting a nice sear on the pork pieces will lock in the juices and add a delightful caramelized flavor.

– Adjust the sauce consistency: If the sauce seems too thin, let it simmer a little longer to thicken up. For a creamier texture, add a bit more heavy cream.
