Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
Seasoning and Spices:
- 4 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cooking and Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Hot-cooked egg noodles or rice
- Minced fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Coat pork pieces thoroughly with a seasoned flour mixture, ensuring even coverage of paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to foam and shimmer.
- Carefully place seasoned pork into the hot skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust develops.
- Pour cream into the skillet, using a wooden spoon to scrape up caramelized bits from the bottom, creating a rich flavor base.
- Reduce heat and let the sauce simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to a velvety consistency.
- Allow the sauce to rest for 2-3 minutes to further develop its depth of flavor.
- Transfer the pork and sauce to a serving platter, creating an elegant presentation.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for a bright, fresh garnish.
- Accompany the pork with warm buttered noodles or fluffy steamed rice to complete the meal.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with cornstarch or almond flour to coat the pork.
- Experiment with smoked paprika for a deeper, more complex flavor profile that adds richness to the dish.
- Use high-quality butter or clarified butter to prevent burning and achieve a golden-brown sear on the pork.
- Consider reducing cooking time to 30-40 minutes to keep the pork tender and prevent overcooking, which can make the meat tough and dry.
