Step 1
Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Working in batches, add pork cubes without crowding. Sear 4–5 minutes until golden brown on all sides, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then add greens with a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Stir greens 3–4 minutes until wilted and tender. Return pork to the skillet and toss to combine.
Step 6
Toast cassava flour in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Squeeze lime juice over the pork, then serve with the farofa on the side.
