👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Season the pork cubes with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to steaming instead of browning.

⏱️ 10 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Look for a golden-brown crust on the pork for added flavor.
2

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

⏱️ 3 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Onions should turn translucent and garlic should be aromatic.
3

Pour in the chicken broth and barbecue sauce. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

⏱️ 2 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Deglazing the pan adds richness to the sauce.
4

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is tender and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

⏱️ 20 min (ish) 🌡️ Low heat

AI Wisdom: Pork should be fork-tender.
5

Once the pork is cooked, uncover and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ Low heat

AI Wisdom: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
