Notes
This version uses a honey-garlic base, but you can easily swap ingredients based on what’s in your pantry.
- The Protein: Not a pork fan? Use chicken thighs or steak tips. Just keep the cubes to 1/2-inch for even cooking.
- The Sweetener: If you’re out of honey, try maple syrup or brown sugar.
- The Herb Profile: Swap the oregano for smoked paprika and cumin for a Tex-Mex vibe, or use dried thyme for a more traditional roast flavor.
- The Kick: Add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade if you like a little heat.
