Pat the pork pieces dry and season well with salt and pepper to help build flavor and achieve a good sear.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork in a single layer and cook for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides with lightly crisp edges. If the pan feels crowded, cook in batches to avoid steaming.

Stir in the diced jalapeños and minced garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant, with a gentle warmth in the aroma.

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and lime juice until smooth.

Pour the sauce into the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and coating the pork. If it reduces too quickly, add 1–2 tablespoons of water to loosen it.

Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top just before serving. The pork should be tender, glossy, and well coated in the sauce.
