Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Pork tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 150 milliliters Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by slicing the pork tenderloin into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork in batches and sear until golden brown on all sides. Remove the pork strips from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, paprika, and heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Return the pork strips to the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated in the sauce. Let them cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking, stirring occasionally.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Once done, remove from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, pairing the Low Carb Schweinsgeschnetzeltes with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
