Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 400 grams (14.1 ounces) pork fillet
- 225 grams (8 ounces) button mushrooms, halved
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
Cooking Fats and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 25 grams (0.9 ounces) butter
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- Salt and black pepper
Finishing Ingredients:
- 140 milliliters (4.7 fluid ounces) soured cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Slice pork into thin, uniform strips and generously season with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor profile.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, then quickly sear pork strips for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp at edges.
- Lower the heat and add butter. Stir in chopped onions, cooking until soft and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium, melt butter, and gently sauté chopped onions until translucent and softened, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Sprinkle paprika into onion mixture, stirring to release aromatic compounds, then introduce sliced mushrooms and cook rapidly until they release their moisture and develop a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Return reserved pork strips to skillet, creating a cohesive mixture with vegetables and spices.
- Pour soured cream into the pan, stirring gently to coat all ingredients, and allow mixture to simmer on low heat for 5-6 minutes, ensuring flavors meld together harmoniously.
- Finish with a splash of fresh lemon juice, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper to balance flavors.
- Plate immediately while steaming hot, ensuring optimal taste and temperature for serving.
Notes
- Choose pork tenderloin or pork loin for the most tender and lean meat, which ensures a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Pat meat dry before seasoning to help achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming instead of frying.
- Use high heat when cooking meat strips to lock in juices and create delicious caramelized edges that boost flavor.
- For a lighter version, swap full-fat soured cream with Greek yogurt or low-fat crème fraîche without compromising the creamy texture.
- Replace regular flour with cornstarch when seasoning meat and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
