Meat Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Start by rinsing the pork belly under cold water to remove any impurities. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and brown sugar. Rub this seasoning mix all over the pork belly, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Sear the Pork Belly

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned pork belly and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork Belly

    Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the pork belly cook slowly for about 1.5 to 2 hours, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender.

  5. 5

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sliced pork belly warm as a side dish or as part of a larger meal.
