Recipe for pork tenderloin in sour cream sauce with sage and noodles.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pork tenderloins (1 1/2 to 2 pounds), sliced 1/2-inch thick
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried sage, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • dash pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 beef bouillon cube or equivalent beef base
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Cooked noodles

Preparation:

Rub sliced meat with mixture of sage, salt, and pepper. In a deep skillet (with cover) or Dutch oven, brown meat lightly on both sides in hot oil; add onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer, until onion is tender. Drain off excess fat. Dissolve bouillon or base in the 1/4 cup boiling water; pour over meat. Cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until meat is done. Remove meat from pan. Combine sour cream and flour in a small bowl. Gradually add meat drippings to sour cream mixture, stirring constantly. Return mixture to the skillet; cook and stir just until boiling. Add water until sauce is the desired consistency. Place pork on noodles and spoon gravy over all.

As others have written, this is a wonderful dish that can be served with noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. I have to please several different 'textural' preferences, and this allows me to do that. I love a one-dish meal, with everything layered or mixed, but my husband and children tend to like things separate, perhaps with a little gravy on the meat or starch. I made this tonight with mashed potatotes instead of noodles, and the gravy was wonderful over both meat and potatoes. The pork was moist and tender and everything so easy to make. I used shallots instead of an onion, since that's what I had on hand. I made only one tenderloin and was a little concerned that only 1/4 cup of liquid would be too little to simmer for 25-30 minutes so I doubled the bouillon/water and also the sour cream/flour. It probably was not necessary, but I've got quite a bit of yummy gravy left over. No pork or mashed potatoes left, but I'll find something to use the gravy on! I also think mushroom caps would go great in it, and may add them next time.
