Place the marinated pork in the pan, cooking the top part first for about 1 minute.

Flip the pork carefully and cook the opposite side for another minute.

Add the marinade from the bag and more water to the pan to cover the pork.

Add a Knorr Pork cube to the mixture and stir.

Cover the pot and simmer on low to medium heat for 1 hour, basting the pork occasionally.

Baste the pork again and cover to cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Season with ground black pepper and let it simmer until the sauce reduces to half.
