Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Loin

    Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and slice it into thin cutlets approximately 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, slice the mushrooms, and dice the red bell pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork cutlets and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion, mushrooms, and red bell pepper until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the brandy and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the brandy reduce for about 2 minutes, then stir in the heavy cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  4. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Return the sautéed pork to the skillet, coating it with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through. Serve hot.
