Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry juicy pork in a frying pan? Prepare everything you need. To make the meat tender and juicy, use neck, shoulder, ham or tenderloin. Choose your meat carefully. It should be pink in color, without an obsessive odor and excessive shine. It tastes better from fresh meat, but if you have frozen meat, defrost it first. You will learn the subtleties of defrosting by reading the article below the steps. Take any spices that suit the meat.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the meat in running water and dry with paper towels so that there is less splashing during frying and a more uniform golden brown crust appears on the surface. Trim off excess fat. Cut the meat into large cubes no smaller than a matchbox. Try to leave the larger cut side of the piece across the grain. This way more juice will remain inside.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the onion, rinse and cut into half rings or smaller. In this form it will retain its shape. Add onion to meat.

Step 4

Step 4
Add spices and a tablespoon of oil. Donʼt add salt yet. It is better not to salt the meat before frying in order to retain more juice. Mix everything thoroughly so that each piece marinates evenly. Leave for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Step 5

Step 5
Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil. Please note that if the meat is too fatty, you will need less oil than indicated in the recipe. Turn the heat to medium or higher than medium. Since the meat takes longer to fry than the onions, place only the pork pieces in a single layer in the pan first. If everything does not fit at once, fry in several batches. There is no need to close the lid. How to choose a frying pan and oil, read the articles below the steps.

Step 6

Step 6
Fry on both sides until golden brown. It took me about 4 minutes on each side. Salt the already fried side. Place the finished pieces in a deep bowl, cover with a lid and let “rest” until the meat is ready.

Step 7

Step 7
Fry the onion in the remaining oil from the meat in the frying pan. Fry until it becomes translucent and slightly yellow.

Step 8

Step 8
Before serving, stir the meat and onions and warm slightly. Serve delicious juicy pork in pieces with any side dish, vegetables and salads. Bon appetit!
