Ingredients
Scale
- 400 g (14 oz) pork fillet, no fat, cut into thick strips
- 2 onions, finely sliced
- 250 g (8.8 oz) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tbsps smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 200 ml (6.8 fl oz) chicken stock
- 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) soured cream
- Egg noodles, tagliatelle, or rice for serving
Instructions
- Caramelize Foundation: Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high, sautéing onions until they transform into a soft, golden-brown state, developing deep, sweet undertones.
- Protein Searing: Introduce pork strips and mushrooms, rapidly searing at high temperature to create a rich, caramelized exterior. Sprinkle Spanish paprika, allowing the spice to bloom and intensify flavors for 60-90 seconds.
- Sauce Development: Pour tomato purée and chicken stock into the skillet, stirring thoroughly to create a vibrant, cohesive sauce. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, ensuring pork reaches perfect doneness at 145°F.
- Finishing Touch: Incorporate soured cream, creating a luxurious, silky texture. Season with kosher salt and black pepper, balancing the dish’s robust flavors. Serve immediately over egg noodles, tagliatelle, or white rice, garnishing with an optional dollop of soured cream for added richness.
Notes
- Caramelize Carefully: Slow-cook onions over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning and develop deep, sweet flavor.
- Sear for Success: Cook pork and mushrooms at high temperature to create a rich caramelized exterior, which locks in moisture and intensifies taste.
- Temperature Matters: Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches exactly 145°F (63°C) for perfect doneness, preventing dryness while ensuring food safety.
- Cream Technique: Add soured cream off direct heat to prevent curdling, creating a smooth, silky sauce that enhances the dish’s overall richness.
