Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, marinate the pork in Italian seasoning and a splash of vinegar for an hour before cooking.

This dish is great for adapting to various tastes and preferences, just like many classic American recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of pork for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like pork shoulder or tenderloin. However, cooking times may vary slightly. Just ensure that the pork is cut into uniform cubes for even cooking. The key is to cook the pork until it's no longer pink inside, regardless of the cut used.

Consider adding garlic, bell peppers, or even a splash of red wine to the skillet for additional depth of flavor. Fresh herbs such as basil or oregano can also enhance the taste. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings to suit your palate, making this dish truly your own.
