Step 1

Set oven rack to lower middle, and preheat to 325 degrees F.

Step 2

Pat pork dry with paper towels, and season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add 1 Tbsp oil. Add half of the pork cubes, and cook without moving until one side is well-browned, about 4 minutes. Stir pork pieces, and continue cooking until browned on most sides. Transfer pork to a large bowl. Add 1 Tbsp oil, and repeat the process with the remaining pork.

Step 4

In the now-empty Dutch oven over medium heat add 1 Tbsp oil. Add onion and a pinch of salt, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and oregano, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, scraping up browned bits on the pan bottom.

Step 5

Add chiles, tomatillos, bay leaves, and cilantro. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and let simmer about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add remaining 4 Tbsp oil. Add flour, and stir constantly until mixture is the color of peanut butter. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Remove Dutch oven from heat, and uncover. While stirring constantly, slowly add flour mixture to chile mixture.

Step 8

Add pork to Dutch oven, cover, and put in oven. Cook until pork is tender, about 2.5 hours.

Step 9

Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste.
