Garlic Pork Bites - Delicious Dinner Recipe for Quick Cooking Nights
If you’re craving a weeknight win that doesn’t eat up your evening, these garlic butter Pork Bites might become your new obsession. We’re talking tender, golden seared pork cubes swimming in garlicky, buttery goodness—fast enough for Quick Cooking nights and tasty enough to convince the family that you totally planned this meal (even if you didn’t). Honestly, if Pork Recipes For Dinner usually stress you out, this one fixes that real quick.
Start with simple pantry staples and a pack of pork chops or Pork Tenderloin. With a quick chop-chop and a hot skillet, you’ll have a comforting Pork Dinner that feels a little fancy without trying too hard. And hey, if you’re trying to sneak in more Healthy Dishes or even whip up something that could double as Low Fat Appetizers, these little flavor bombs check all the boxes.
Here’s where things get fun: the tips. Want bite-sized perfection? Trim the fat. I know—fat equals flavor, but in tiny pieces it equals chewy surprises no one asked for. FYI, the kids notice every single one. Next up, the golden rule: Don’t overcrowd the pan. Ever wonder why your pork steams instead of browns? Yep, too much traffic in the skillet. Give those cubes space to shine. Sear in batches if you have to—your taste buds will thank you.
And whatever you do, scrape the pan. All those browned bits stuck to the bottom? That’s pure flavor gold. Deglaze with broth or a splash of wine and watch it transform into a garlicky sauce that tastes like you spent way more time on it than you actually did. IMO, this is where the magic happens.
Whether you call it Marinated Pork, easy comfort food, or your new go-to Pork Dishes recipe, these garlic pork bites deliver big flavor with minimal effort. Now, ready to make your kitchen smell amazing?
Tender chunks of boneless pork chops get a quick seasoning, a speedy sear, and a bright, buttery garlic-lemon sauce—perfect for a simple, crowd-pleasing dinner.
- 2 lbs boneless pork chops, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth, beef broth, or dry white wine)
- Juice from 1/2 lemon
- 4 garlic cloves, pressed
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Combine the garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the pork cubes and toss until every piece is coated.
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, spread the pork in a single layer. Let the pieces cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes so they can develop a nice sear. Stir, then continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes, or until the pork reaches 145°F and is fully done.
- Transfer the cooked pork to a plate. Pour the broth and lemon juice into the skillet to loosen and lift any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Stir in the pressed garlic, butter, and (if using) red pepper flakes. Keep mixing until the butter melts and the sauce begins to bubble lightly.
- Return the pork to the pan and gently toss to coat every piece in the lemon-garlic butter sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve immediately.
