Slice the pork loin into thin, bite-sized strips. Pat the pork dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork strips to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Sprinkle the paprika and caraway seeds into the skillet and stir to coat the onions and garlic in the spices. Cook for an additional 1 minute to release the flavors.
Return the browned pork to the skillet, followed by the sauerkraut. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Pour in the chicken broth, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir again, ensuring everything is evenly distributed in the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and tender, and the flavors have melded together.
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm alongside crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or a side of your choice. Enjoy!
