What it is
This is a package of boneless pork sirloin that has been pre-cut into convenient, bite-sized cubes.

How people cook with it
These diced pork cubes are ideal for quick weeknight meals and flavorful additions to various cuisines.
- Stir-fries
- Skewers
- Stew bases
- Pasta sauces
To cook, simply season the diced pork with your preferred herbs and spices. You can pan-fry them in a hot skillet until browned and cooked through, or add them directly to simmering sauces, stews, or stir-fry mixtures. Ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safety and optimal texture. For skewers, marinate the cubes before threading them onto skewers with vegetables and grilling or broiling.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other pork cuts like shoulder or belly, sirloin is leaner and cooks more quickly. Its uniform cubing means it cooks evenly, unlike larger, irregularly shaped pieces that might require more attention to ensure doneness throughout.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused diced pork immediately. Store it in its original packaging or in an airtight container. It is best to use the remaining pork within two to three days for optimal freshness and quality.
