🔪 How to make pork stroganoff
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
One: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan or casserole and brown the diced pork in batches. Remove to a plate.
Two: In the same pan, cook the onion, garlic, and mushrooms for 5 minutes on a medium heat until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are soft.

Three: Stir in the tomato puree, chicken stock, dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and Italian herbs and simmer for 10 minutes.
Four: Add the soured cream and the browned pork back into the pan and cook for a further 10-15 minutes. Season and serve with chopped parsley.

💭 Top tips
- If using leftover roast pork skip step one and just stir the cooked pork in with the soured cream for the last few minutes of cooking.
🍴 Serving suggestions
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 would also be delicious.
📖 Variations

- 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, 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 mls. It will also need thickening at the end of cooking with a cornflour slurry or thickening granules.

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!
