This delicious Easy Pork Stroganoff is bursting with flavour, but is simple to make and only takes 20 minutes, meaning it is perfect for a busy weeknight. Serve with brown rice and green veg for a slightly healthier twist on a classic.
I am a huge fan of pork stroganoff, but I’ve never shared my favourite recipe for it – until now! I just love this easy peasy take on a classic recipe. It includes some of my favourite flavours – pork, mushrooms, garlic, paprika and sour cream! It’s definitely one of my all time favourite recipes!
To make this Easy Pork Stroganoff recipe a little bit healthier I have combined it with brown rice and broccoli. If you are going low carb at the moment, just ditch the brown rice completely and serve with extra green veg.
I have chosen to use pork loin steaks in this Easy Pork Stroganoff recipe, but you can also use pork fillet or medallions if you prefer. Either way, there are no bones to worry about, making this dish lovely and easy to prepare (and eat!).
If you are not a fan of pork, try this stroganoff with beef instead, or if you would prefer a veggie version, increase the quantity of mushrooms and/or use some Quorn pieces in place of the meat.
This recipe would go brilliantly with an oaked Chardonnay from somewhere like Chile or Australia, or alternatively, if you prefer red wine, a Beaujolais or Red Burgundy would go well here too.

Easy Pork Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 200 g easy cook brown rice (I used Tesco)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 600 g pork loin steaks cubed (or pork fillet or medallions)
- Small knob of butter
- 1 onion diced
- 100 g chestnut mushrooms sliced
- 2 cloves garlic grated or crushed
- 3 teaspoons smoked paprika (use normal paprika if you don’t have smoked)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 150 ml sour cream (or crème fraiche if you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Tenderstem broccoli to serve (or another green vegetable such as spinach, cabbage or kale)
Instructions
- Put the rice in a pan with 400ml boiling water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and then cover with a lid and turn the heat down low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
- Put a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and heat for 1 minute, add the cubed pork and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure it is nicely browned all over. Tip the pork and all the juices onto a plate.
- Turn the heat down then add the butter to the same pan and allow to melt. When the butter has just melted, add the onions and mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile cook the green veg that you will be serving with the stroganoff – I chose to lightly steam tenderstem broccoli over the brown rice for 5 minutes.
- When the onions and mushrooms are cooked, add the garlic, paprika, salt and pepper, plus the pork and all the juices and cook over a low heat for a further 3 minutes, or until the pork is cooked.
- Add the sour cream and heat gently until it just starts to bubble (don’t boil!). Turn the heat off and sprinkle in the chopped parsley. Serve with the brown rice and broccoli.
Notes
- Not suitable for freezing (although this could be frozen before the addition of the sour cream. If you do this, add sour cream as per the recipe when the stroganoff has been defrosted and reheated.)

This is a lovely weeknight dinner recipe, simple to put together and no doubt very delicious, especially with the addition of the smoked paprika. I think mushrooms and sour cream are great together:)
Eb Gargano says
Thanks Monika 🙂 I absolutely love smoked paprika and put it as many dishes as I possibly can! And yes, I definitely agree mushrooms and sour cream go so well – and that combo with pork…and garlic…and that smoked paprika…so good! Eb x
Alix @A Hedgehog in the Kitchen says
This looks delicious and would be absolutely fabulous with brown rice and veggies or just extra veggies as you recommend! We love using smoked paprika in our recipes too. Thanks so much for the yummy inspiration! I am so happy to have found your site.
Eb Gargano says
Aw, thanks for your kind words Alix 🙂 Doesn’t smoked paprika just make everything better? I have this massive tub that a friend gave me, that came from Spain…I use it practically everything and I still haven’t made a dent in it, really! Eb x
Mandy says
I don’t think I’ve ever made a stroganoff – must do something to rectify that. The flavours sound lovely and I think even my kids might like it!
Eb Gargano says
Oooh Mandy, you’ve been missing out! Stroganoff is lovely. I also do a yummy veggie one with just mushrooms. The thing is, my kids loved this so doesn’t that mean, your kids will hate it? 😉 Seriously though, it’s a definite crowd pleaser so there’s a good chance of your kids liking it! Good luck!! Eb x

Michael Edwards says
I made this yesterday and we both loved it. I used lean diced pork and brined it for an hour beforehand to tenderise it. I’m thinking of adding 1/2tsp of cayenne pepper next time to spice it up.
Eb Gargano says
Really pleased to hear you enjoyed this, and thanks for taking the time to let me know! Love the idea of adding in cayenne pepper!! Eb 😀
lynne says
Hi there, can you re-heat this?
Eb Gargano says
Yes, it’s fine to reheat, so long as you follow the normal rules for reheating pork! Eb 🙂
Sarah Bor says
I made this for the family today and it was delicious. I used pork fillet, it was very easy to make and everybody loved it. I have a portion left over, I just wondered if it is ok to freeze due to the sour cream?
Thanks for the great recipe 🙂
Eb Gargano says
Yay! So pleased you and your family liked it!! Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know – it means a lot. And yes this recipe is fine to freeze. Eb 🙂
Juliana says
Just did it and it was absolutely perfect. Simple and delicious! Congratulations!!!
Eb Gargano says
Yay! I am so happy to hear that 😀
Kirsty says
Could I use natural yogurt instead of sour cream-i have loads that I need to use up?? Thanks
Eb Gargano says
Absolutely! It tastes great with natural yogurt. The only issue is sometimes yogurt ‘splits’ in hot sauces – i.e. it looks a bit grainy. The taste is fine, it just doesn’t look quite as good. Hope that helps! Eb 🙂
Lissa says
Sounds delicious! I don’t have sour cream could I use Greek yoghurt?
Eb Gargano says
Absolutely! The only problem with yogurt is it does tend to split – it tastes great, but just might not look quite so good. Enjoy! Eb 🙂
Linda says
This looks so nice, looking to something other than roast pork. Is paprika hot as I dont like spicy hot? I just want something with a nice flavour, something different
Thanks
Eb Gargano says
Hi Linda, there are 3 main types of paprika: normal paprika, smoked paprika and hot paprika. The first 2 are not hot at all… so if you don’t like spicy hot, stick to the regular or smoked kind, and steer clear of the one marked ‘hot’! Personally I highly recommend smoked paprika – it’s probably my favourite spice – it’s got such a lovely warm smoky flavour that goes especially well with pork! Hope that helps… and do let me know how you get on with this recipe 😀
Onry says
Don’t forget hot smoked paprika! My favourite 😀
Eb Gargano says
Oh yes, good shout! Eb 🙂
