Trim any excess fat off the pork shoulder or loin and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Slice the leeks lengthwise, rinse them thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit, and slice them into thin half-moons.
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork cubes in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer the browned pork to the crock pot.
Add the remaining olive oil and butter to the same skillet. Sauté the leeks and mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the leek mixture to the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef or chicken broth, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the pork and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and the flavors are well combined.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour into the sour cream until smooth. About 30 minutes before serving, stir the sour cream mixture into the crock pot and let it simmer, uncovered, to thicken the sauce.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, if using. Drain and set aside.
Serve the pork stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles, if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley for an optional pop of color and flavor.
