Ingredients:

| Pork | 200g |
| Onion | 1 |
| Brandy | 1 tbsp |
| Small Mushrooms | 125g |

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pork: Begin by cutting the pork into slices about 1cm thick.
-
-
Sear the Pork: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a dash of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pork slices to the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the undersides are nicely browned. Avoid stirring the pork during this time to prevent sticking.
-
Brown the Other Side: After the underside is browned, flip the pork slices and cook the other side until evenly browned. Once done, transfer the pork to a warmed plate and set aside.
-
Sauté the Onion: Lower the heat slightly and add the sliced onion to the pan. Sauté the onion until it becomes soft and just starts to turn golden brown, which should take about 8 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients: Return the seared pork slices to the pan with the onion. Stir them together for about a minute to combine the flavors.
-
Add Brandy and Mushrooms: If using brandy, pour it into the pan and allow it to bubble. Then, add the small mushrooms and chicken stock to the pan.
-
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for about two minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Incorporate Creme Fraiche and Seasonings: Stir in the low-fat creme fraiche, Hungarian paprika, salt, and pepper to the pan. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
-
Final Simmer: Let the mixture barely simmer for another two minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Serve: Once the Pork Stroganoff is ready, transfer it to serving plates. Dust each serving with a sprinkle of Hungarian paprika for an extra burst of flavor.
