1. In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground black pepper, ground cumin, paprika, and dried thyme to create a marinade.
2. Add the cubed pork to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and let the pork marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Heat a large skillet or sautΓ© pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if necessary (optional).
4. Once the pan is hot, add the marinated pork in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear the pork cubes on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the browned pork and transfer to a plate.
5. In the same pan, add the diced onion and sautΓ© until softened, about 5 minutes.
6. Return the browned pork to the pan and pour in the chicken broth. Stir to combine.
7. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the pork to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
8. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
9. Divide the pork mix into freezer-safe containers or resealable freezer bags, portioning based on your preferred serving sizes. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
10. To use, defrost overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in a skillet or the microwave until warmed through. Enjoy as a component in your favorite dishes such as stir-fries, tacos, or casseroles!
