    Easy Pork Stroganoff Ingredients

    Find the full list and quantities in the recipe card below.

    Pork - I have used pork loin in this recipe, which I cut into smaller bite-sized strips. Pork loin is a lean cut with not too much fat running through it making it perfect for stroganoff. You could also use pork tenderloin (pork fillet), just adjust the cooking times accordingly.

    Onion - this provides the flavor base for the dish. You could also use red onions.

    Mushrooms - I've used cremini mushrooms, but you could also use shiitake mushrooms, white mushrooms or a mix of mushrooms. 

    Sour Cream - Sour cream adds flavor and texture to the sauce. You could also use heavy cream, but would just need to adjust the acidity and sourness that you get from sour cream by adding a touch of lemon juice.

    Noodles - I've used a wide, flat egg noodles, but you could also use a thinner egg noodle too.

    How to Make Pork Stroganoff - Step-By-Step

    Find the full printable recipe below.

    Season pork loin strips while olive oil heats in a large heavy bottomed saucepan.

    Sear the pork on all sides until it is browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.

    Serve the stroganoff with the drained noodles and scatter over chopped parsley.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Pork Stroganoff?

    Pork stroganoff is a dish made with pork loin, mushrooms and onion in a creamy sauce made with sour cream and flavored with mustard and paprika.

    Where does Stroganoff come from?

    Stroganoff is not a heavily spiced dish. It is flavored with sweet smoked paprika, which adds a great smoky depth of flavor, but no chili heat.

    Variations & Substitutions for Easy Pork Stroganoff

    For added acidity and depth of flavor, you can also add a tablespoon of brandy to de-glaze the pan. White wine also works.

    You can turn this into leftover roast pork stroganoff by adding leftover roast pork to the stoganoff to just warm through before serving.

    For instant pot pork stoganoff, follow the instructions up to the end of step 8 in the recipe card below. Then pop on the lid and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.

    For slow cooker pork stroganoff follow the instructions up to the end of step 8 in the recipe card below. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours, then finish the sauce and serve with some cooked noodles.

    Tips & Tricks For Making Pork Stroganoff

    Proper seasoning makes a real difference in this dish, so check the seasoning just before serving and adjust if necessary.

    How To Serve Easy Pork Stroganoff

    I love to serve this with buttered noodles - but it's also great with Kitchenaid Mashed Potatoes or even white rice or brown rice.

    For veggie sides try my Easy Buttered Kale, Microwaved Green Beans, or my Honey Butter Roasted Carrots.

    How To Reheat Pork Stroganoff?

    Once cooked and cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. When ready to enjoy, remove from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature, before placing over the hob and heating up to piping hot.

    How to Freeze Pork Stroganoff?

    Yes you can freeze the pork stroganoff in the sauce up to the point where you add the sour cream (point 9 in the recipe card). Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    I don't recommend freezing the sour cream as it can change the texture of the sauce.

    When ready to eat, remove the stroganoff from the freezer and defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Heat up the sauce and finish with the sour cream and a garnish of freshly chopped parley before serving.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

    • 1 Onion - diced
    • 3 cups Mushrooms - sliced
    • 1 tbsp Sweet Smoked Paprika
    • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
    • 1 cup Chicken Broth - or vegetable
    • 1 cup Sour Cream
    • Sea Salt and Black Pepper

    Optional to serve

    • 8 oz Wide Egg Noodles - or any other pasta you prefer

    • And the browned pork back to the pan.
    • Simmer on a low heat for around 10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened somewhat and the pork is cooked through.

      Stroganoff is my fave but I'm very British in serving it with rice - I am however totally converted to pasta now. I refuse to call them noodles - its a step to far for my sensibilities!!!!!
