📝 Preparation Steps
1
Start by cutting your pork into bite sized pieces; then place in a dish or resealable plastic bag.
2
Coat the pork bites with the marinade; then refrigerate for ⏱️ 30 minutes. (I wouldn't recommend marinating them for longer than ⏱️ 8 hours.)
3
When it's time to eat, remove the pork from the refrigerator ⏱️ 15 minutes prior to grilling to get it to room temperature; then preheat a grill pan.
4
Spray your grill pan with cooking spray, then add the pork bites. Grill them on each side until the meat is cooked through with a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees F. (Cooking times will vary depending on how thick you cut the pieces and how you prefer the doneness of the pork.) Place some of the salsa on a plate; then top with the hot pork.
