Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Lbs Leftover pork loin sliced or cubed
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Medium onion diced
  • 8 oz Mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 Tsp Paprika
  • 1 Tsp Cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water or 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 Cup beef broth or chicken broth
  • 1 Cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked egg noodles or rice for serving

Method
 

Sauté Vegetables
  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and mushrooms.
  2. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add Pork and Seasoning
  1. Stir in the leftover pork loin and paprika.
  2. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat the pork through.
Thicken the Sauce
  1. If using flour, sprinkle it over the mixture and stir well. Gradually add the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  2. If using cornstarch, stir the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + cold water) into the broth, then add it to the skillet and stir well.
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for 2-4 minutes.
Add Sour Cream
  1. Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes without boiling.
Serve
  1. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over cooked egg noodles or rice.
