Recipe Notes
Searing meat does not take a lot of oil. The key is a hot pan and to leave the meat alone. It seems that the pork is sticking to the pan, but as the proteins cook, the meat will shrink slightly and the surface caramelizes. That is the point at which the pork will release from the pan. Turn it over and repeat. It requires patience and one technique is to shake the pan slightly. When the meat is ready to turn it will shake away from being stuck to the pan.
