Pork steak cubes

Pork steak cubes are pieces of pork meat cut into small, uniform chunks, ideal for preparing stews, stir-fries, braises, and other recipes that require quick and even cooking. This way of cutting the meat allows flavors to be better absorbed and facilitates faster and more uniform cooking.

Origin: The word "bistec" comes from the English beefsteak, adapted into Spanish, and is used in various Spanish-speaking countries to refer to cuts of meat in the form of a steak or slice. In the case of pork, the steak is usually taken from lean cuts like the loin or rump, and cutting it into cubes facilitates its use in a wide variety of traditional and modern preparations.

Properties: Pork is a valuable source of high-quality protein, B-complex vitamins (particularly B1, also known as thiamine), and minerals like zinc and iron. Pork steak cubes allow for portion control and optimized cooking, maintaining the juiciness and tenderness of the meat when prepared correctly.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: Depending on the country, pork steak cubes may also be called trozos, dados, cubitos, or trocitos de cerdo. In some places, they are simply known as cerdo en cubos or carne de cerdo para guisar (stewing pork).
