Method

Cut the pork into about 1" cubes.

Rub a baking/roasting tray with butter. spread the pork in there, rub down wid coarse salt, pepper, little sesame oil and butter. add some rough chunks of garlic in there

Roast at 400-450 degrees for about 20 mins or so, till most of the fat starts melting and the meat is partly cooked,again, just kinda wing it.

In a kadhai or saucepot or something,on a low-medium flame, heat butter n oil mixture. add some finely chopped garlic to it. add the pork to the kadhai, scrape the roasting pan properly. deglaze it with some water and a little port wine and add to the kadhai. add more water as needed till the pork is about 1/2 or 2/3rd covered. add a little salt, lime leaf and all spice to the pot. This helps build the base of the dish. add a few green peppers if u have em too. let it cook for a while, about an hour or so at least, till it starts getting really, really tender. add in the mushrooms. taste the gravy and add a little flour to thicken. some sugar will help counteract the saltiness of the pork. when it starts getting tender, add more of the lime leaves, a little bit of the all spice and let it cook further. keep tasting and season as needed. add more herbs if u need to. and make sure that the level of the liquid is maintained. port wine is to be used only in small amounts. when you feel the taste is ok, keep it on low flame, let it cook till the desired tenderness is achieved and serve hot.

Note: it can get really, really tender if u cook it properly n long enough.
