🔪 How to make pork stroganoff
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
Top Tips
- If you're making leftover roast pork stroganoff, skip step one and stir the cooked pork in with the soured cream for the last few minutes of cooking.
- When searing the pork in the pan, make sure it gets a nice golden brown colour. This adds depth of flavour and a slightly caramelised taste to the dish.
- Pork can become tough if overcooked. After searing, remove the pork from the pan and set it aside. Add it back to the sauce towards the end to finish cooking and remain tender.
🍴 What to serve with pork stroganoff
Serve the creamy pork stroganoff with rice, noodles (pasta), mashed potatoes, or even crusty bread. A side of green vegetables such as roasted Tenderstem broccoli or roast courgettes is also delicious.
📖 Variations
- Use diced chicken breast instead of pork, or why not follow my easy recipe for chicken and mushroom stroganoff.
- Make it vegetarian by using mushrooms only - try this easy mushroom stroganoff recipe!
- Swap the soured cream for creme fraiche.
- Add a glass of white wine or vermouth before adding the stock (you could also use brandy), for a richer tasting stroganoff.
- Replace the Dijon mustard with English mustard or wholegrain mustard.
- Garnish with tarragon or dill instead of parsley, or a mixture of all three herbs.
- Make the pork stroganoff in your slow cooker. You'll need to reduce the amount of stock to 200 ml. It will also need thickening at the end of cooking with a cornflour slurry or thickening granules.
🥡 Storage
Store - The cooked pork stroganoff can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat - Microwave until piping hot.
Freeze - Place the cooked stroganoff in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge before reheating in the microwave.

Very nice stroganoff. I had never tried a pork version and loved it.
Claudia Lamascolo
What a great alternative using pork and so easy!
Jacqueline Meldrum
I am with you and think it is better served the traditional way with rice, but yes mashed potato would be good too.
Dannii
Stroganoff is total comfort food and this pork version looks incredible.
Helen
That sauce looks so flavourful and delicious! Great recipe.
Lyanne
Delicious recipe, made it twice now, once with leftover roast pork & once with fresh, with the fresh one I just cooked the pork & onion then added everything else, with the soured cream later as per instructions, it worked out just as tasty!
Beth Sachs
Hi Lyanne. So glad you enjoyed it. It's one of my favourite recipes!

Very easy and perfect way to use up my left over pork
Philippa Barnes
Tried this Oct 2023. Used pork tenderloin sliced thinly. It was delicious. I also used half fat cream fraiche & mixed it with a level tsp of cornflour so that it didn’t split! Worked a treat.
I like a little more Dijon mustard so used 2 tsps and 1 tsp smoked paprika and rest normal paprika. Next time I’m going to add some red and yellow peppers.
Lovely recipe and thank you so much for sharing. Pippa from Shropshire x

Could i make this recipe with just double cream instead of soured cream or crem fraiche ???
Beth Sachs
Hi. You could use double cream and a squeeze of lemon juice to get the same sort of flavour! Hope that helps. Beth
Jess
I haven’t even made this. I will try it tonight but the fact that you put the amounts and ingredients under the step where you use them has me singing! Scrolling back up 40 times is the WORST!! You’re a genius!
Tara
I agree with Jess above. I love that the ingredients are relisted at each step in the method. This should be standard across all recipes everywhere. What a great idea! Thanks for this, it looks great and easy to follow. Looking forward to making this tonight.
Cherin Cox
It was perfection. Sent to four different friends. I used leftover pork tenderloin and served over mashed potatoes.
Buzz
Made this last night. Wow! I've never had pork stroganoff before, and I've gotta say that this was magnificent. Very easy to cook.
Thank you for the recipe. Will be making it again and again.
