Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Sear pork 90 seconds per side without moving until edges turn golden, then transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    In the same skillet, sauté onion until softened and light gold, 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in paprika and caraway seeds until fragrant, 30 seconds, then pour in broth, scraping up browned bits.

  5. Step 5

    Return pork to the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 4-5 minutes until pork reaches 145°F internally.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from heat, stir in sour cream until silky, then taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Step 7

    Garnish with parsley and serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
