Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pcs. Pork Tenderloin approx. 500-600 grams
  • 200 gram Bacon Smoked bacon, preferably in cubes and without rind
  • 2 pcs. Onion
  • 250 gram Mushroom
  • 1 can Tomato Chopped/Peeled
  • 200 gram Cocktail Sausages
  • 60 gram Sour Cream

Instructions

  • Trim the tenderloin by removing the silver skin, sinews, and membranes. 
  • Cut it into slices about 1.5 cm thick and lightly pound them with the palm of your hand.
  • Cut the bacon into cubes.
  • Roughly chop the onions.
  • Cut the root off your mushrooms and rinse them thoroughly. Dry them off and cut them in half.
  • Sauté bacon and onions in a roasting pan. If the bacon is fatty, there's no need to use extra fat, but if it's not so fatty, it may be necessary to add a bit of neutral-tasting oil. Remove bacon and onions when the onions are golden.
  • Brown the tenderloin slices for 1-2 minutes on each side in the drippings. Season with salt and pepper, and return the bacon and onions to the pan. Add about 1 dl water, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
  • Let everything simmer for about 15 minutes under a lid until the meat is tender.
  • Add the sausages to the tenderloin stew 4-5 minutes before it is done.
  • Thicken the sauce, and season with salt and pepper and possibly a bit of vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, or gastrique to taste.

Notes

Serve with white potatoes, mashed potatoes, or rice.
