Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Pork: Start by cutting the pork into ΒΌ-inch slices and sprinkle each slice with garlic salt for extra flavor.
-
Brown Pork: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork slices in batches, ensuring they get a nice sear on each side. Once browned, remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
-
Combine Ingredients: In the same skillet, return the browned pork along with any juices that have accumulated. In a separate bowl, mix together the apple juice and flour until well combined. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the pork.
-
Add Flavors: To the skillet, add the sliced tart apples, plump raisins, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir everything together until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and starts to thicken.
-
Simmer: Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes or until the pork is tender and cooked through. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Prepare Cream Sauce: While the pork is simmering, prepare the creamy sauce. In a small saucepan, bring the pan juices to a boil. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half cream until smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Combine and Serve: Once the pork is tender, remove it, along with the apples and raisins, from the skillet and transfer them to a serving dish. Keep them warm while you finish the sauce.
-
Finish and Garnish: Pour the creamy sauce over the pork, apples, and raisins, ensuring everything is well coated. Finally, sprinkle the dish with finely chopped green onions for a pop of freshness and color.
-
Serve: Serve your Autumn Pork Skillet hot alongside fluffy white rice for a comforting and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any day of the week.
