  2. Place the pork and bacon on a broiler pan.

Cook and serve

  1. Broil until cooked through and crispy, turning occasionally.

What each ingredient does

Pork
Provides the main meat, which cooks through under high heat to become tender and browned.
Bacon
Renders its fat during broiling, which crisps the bacon and adds savory flavor to the dish.

The step that matters

Broiling until cooked through and crispy, turning occasionally. Broiling cooks from intense direct heat, so pieces can scorch on the outside before the centre is cooked. Turning them helps the heat reach all sides evenly, and the pork should be checked for doneness before serving.
