Gotta love a meat in creamy sauce recipe!
I make quite a lot of them because:

1. I like a comforting, filling dinner - and creamy sauce dishes always hit the mark
2. You can usually make it in one pan (less washing up yay!)
3. You guys seem to like them too! You're definitely my people 😘

📋 What do we need?

• Pork - I like to use pork shoulder steaks as they're boneless and they have just a little bit of fat running through them to keep them nice and tender. If you like, you can swap for pork chops or pork loin steaks.
• Mushrooms - I'm using chestnut mushrooms as they have more flavour than regular white mushrooms, but you can use your favourite. Sliced portobello mushrooms are particularly good in this dish.

🔪 How to make this pork and mushroom recipe

***Full recipe with detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post.***

• Season the pork and fry in a pan with a little oil until golden.
• Remove from the pan, then fry onions, mushrooms and garlic.
• Sprinkle the onions with flour and stir to coat, then pour in chicken stock while stirring until you get a smooth sauce.
• Add in tomato puree, white wine vinegar and cream. Stir together to combine, then add the pork steaks back in and simmer for 10 minutes.

👩‍🍳 PRO TIP I like to reserve a few fried mushrooms and onions during the frying stage to place on top at the end so they're not all hidden in the sauce.

Serve right away with your favourite side dishes.

Bonus tip - If you don't want to make this a full meal with lots of sides, slice up the pork, place it in a warm flatbread and top with the mushrooms and onions. Then serve with the creamy sauce for dipping.

Calories 422 kcal

• ▢ 3 tbsp olive oil
• ▢ 4 boneless pork shoulder steaks
• ▢ ½ tsp salt
• ▢ ½ tsp black pepper
• ▢ 1 onion - peeled and thinly sliced
• ▢ 6 mushrooms - sliced (I like chestnut mushrooms, but use your favourite)
• ▢ 3 cloves garlic - minced
• ▢ 2 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour
• ▢ 360 ml (1 ½ cups) chicken stock
• ▢ ½ tbsp tomato puree
• ▢ ½ tbsp white wine vinegar
• ▢ 60 ml (¼ cup) double (heavy) cream

To Serve:

• ▢ 2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley

• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat.

• Sprinkle both sides of the pork steaks with ¼ tsp of the salt and ¼ tsp of the pepper.

• Place in the pan and fry for 6-7 minutes, turning once, until browned. Remove from the pan and place on a plate.

• Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the pan.

• Add in the sliced onion, sliced mushrooms and the remaining ¼ tsp each of salt and pepper.

• Fry for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions have softened.

• Add the 3 minced cloves of garlic. Fry for a further minute, whilst stirring.

• Sprinkle the 2 tbsp of flour over the onions and mushrooms and stir together to coat.

• Pour in the 360ml (1 ½ cups) of stock whilst stirring.

• Add in the ½ tbsp of tomato puree, ½ tbsp of white wine vinegar and the 60ml (¼ cup) of cream and stir again.

• Add the pork steaks back to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes to thicken the sauce and heat the pork steaks through.

• Serve topped with a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

Can I make it ahead?

This recipe tastes best when cooked and eaten right away for the most tender pork.
However, you can make it ahead if you like.

Make the dish, then quickly cool, cover and refrigerate.

Remove from the fridge 30 mins before you want to reheat it to take the chill off it, then reheat, covered, in the oven at 180c/375F for about 20-25 minutes, until piping hot throughout. You'll need to stir the sauce a couple of times during re-heating, and you may need to add in a splash of water or stock to help loosen the sauce.

Alternatively you can reheat in a pan (covered) over a medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until piping hot throughout. Stir a few times and add a splash of water or stock if needed.

Ingredient swaps

• Swap out the mushrooms for other vegetables - such as chunks of courgette or green beans.
• Replace the pork shoulder steaks with pork chops or pork loin steaks.
• Swap out the cream for creme fraiche for a slightly tangier finish.
