🥩Pork Salpicao Recipe

🕰️ Total Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 3–4

🛒 Ingredients:

  • 500g pork tenderloin or pork belly (cut into bite-sized cubes)
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced or sliced thinly)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, for extra umami)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking oil
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • Chili flakes or fresh chili (optional, for a spicy kick)
  • Spring onions or toasted garlic (for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Marinate the Pork

In a bowl, combine:

  • Pork cubes
  • Soy sauce
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Oyster sauce (if using)
  • Ground black pepper

Let it marinate for at least 15–30 minutes (or longer if you have time).

2. Sear the Pork

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the marinated pork (reserve marinade) and sear until browned on all sides (about 6–8 minutes).
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook in batches if needed.

3. Add Garlic and Finish the Sauce

  • Lower the heat slightly. Add garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant.
  • Pour in the reserved marinade and simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  • Add butter and mix well until it melts and coats the pork beautifully.
  • Toss in chili flakes if you want it spicy.

4. Serve and Enjoy

  • Garnish with chopped spring onions or toasted garlic.
  • Serve hot with steamed rice — or enjoy it with a cold drink if you’re in the mood for pulutan.

💡 Tips:

  • Use pork tenderloin for a leaner version, or pork belly for extra flavor and juiciness.
  • Don’t skip the butter — it gives the dish that rich, velvety finish.
  • Add mushrooms or bell peppers for a veggie-packed twist.
