Ingredients
  

  • 600 g pork tenderloin cut into even pieces
  • 250 g mushrooms sliced (Cremini or button mushrooms work great)
  • 2 carrots sliced into rounds
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 200 ml heavy cream (crème fraîche)
  • 1 chicken bouillon cube dissolved in hot water
  • 2 tbsp flour for thickening
  • 2 tbsp butter for searing
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 bouquet garni (thyme, bay leaf, and parsley)
  • q.s. salt to taste
  • q.s. pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Wooden spoon
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Method
 

  1. Prep all ingredients, chopping pork, slicing mushrooms, cutting carrots, and dicing onion and garlic.
  2. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  3. Pat the pork dry and sear in the pot until golden-brown on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pot, add another tablespoon of butter and sauté onion and garlic for about 3 minutes.
  5. Add sliced carrots and cook for 5 minutes, then stir in sliced mushrooms and cook until browned.
  6. Sprinkle flour over the veggies and stir for a minute, then slowly whisk in warm chicken broth.
  7. Return seared pork to the pot and tuck in the bouquet garni. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the bouquet garni and lower the heat. Whisk egg yolk into heavy cream, then slowly stir this mixture into the pot.
  9. Cook gently for 5 more minutes without boiling. Serve over rice or mashed potatoes, garnished with parsley.

Notes

You can substitute chicken breast or veal for the pork if desired. If you're short on time, use canned mushrooms instead of fresh. For a lighter sauce, substitute half of the heavy cream with Greek yogurt added off the heat. This stew can be made ahead of time; it often tastes even better the next day! Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and also freeze well for up to 2 months.
