About this dish
When buying pork neck, look less at any particular fat ratio than at an even thickness and fat spread through the lean.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Spread 450 g pork neck in 1 cm slices and pat both sides very dry with paper towels.
Season evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper so the surface can sear instead of steaming.
- 2
Leave the seasoned pork in a single layer at room temperature for 10 minutes.
This brief tempering reduces the chill, helping the center cook before the outside overbrowns or tightens too quickly.
- 3
Preheat the pan according to its manufacturer instructions until the pork sizzles on contact.
Reduce the heat if the pan starts smoking.
- 4
Lay the pork in one layer and sear over high heat for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Do not move it until the edges brown and beads of juice appear on top.
- 5
Turn and cook the second side for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, with 25 g garlic at the pan edge.
Check the thickest center reaches 63°C (145°F); lower the heat and turn again as needed to finish cooking.
- 6
Remove from the heat, drizzle with 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and rest for 3 minutes.
Cut with clean utensils and serve with 80 g lettuce and the grilled garlic.
