1. Cut the pork into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces. Put the pork in a large deep heavy skillet or wide heavy pan. Add oregano, garlic, and salt. Add water to nearly cover the meat with some showing above the surface. Bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, at a simmer, about 45 minutes, or until all the liquid has evaporated. If the meat is still not tender, add a little more water and continue to cook until it is tender. The pork will then start to brown in the fat that has rendered during cooking. (If the meat is quite lean, there may not be enough rendered fat for the meat to brown properly, so add some cooking oil or lard.) Fry the meat, stirring frequently, until the pork bits are evenly browned and crisp. The meat is ready to use.
