Instructions
- Season the pork chunks with salt, pepper, paprika, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Toss to coat evenly.
- Set the pressure cooker to sauté mode. Add cooking oil and heat it up.
- Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pressure cooker. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
