Ingredients
Method
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat and brown the pork on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.
- Add the diced yellow onion to the skillet, adding more oil if necessary, and sauté until beginning to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion mushroom mixture to the pork and set aside.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour, continuing to whisk until the mixture is a rich caramel brown. Add 1 cup of whole milk and 1 cup of heavy cream, whisking continually, until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
- Add 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika and 2-3 teaspoons of beef bouillon base and whisk until smooth. Return the meat mixture to the sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer the sauce a little thinner, add a little more cream. Serve with Spätzle or carb of choice and a fresh green salad or cucumber salad.
Notes
- For the most tender pork, avoid overcrowding the skillet when browning the strips. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Ensure your roux (butter and flour mixture) cooks to a light caramel color for a deeper flavor profile in the creamy pork sauce.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, gradually whisk in a little more milk or heavy cream until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Store leftover creamy pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or broth if needed to restore creaminess. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically.
