Ingredients

• 600 grams Pork tenderloin
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 150 milliliters Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the pork tenderloin into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced pork in batches and sear until golden brown on all sides. Remove the pork strips from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt over medium heat.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion and garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Stir in the Dijon mustard, paprika, and heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Return the pork strips to the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated in the sauce. Let them cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your liking, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Once done, remove from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately, pairing the Low Carb Schweinsgeschnetzeltes with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
