Step 1:

How do you make classic pork stroganoff with tomato paste? Gather the ingredients. Choose boneless pork. My sour cream is 20% fat.
Step 2:

Cut the pork into thin slabs and pound them lightly with a meat mallet.
Step 3:

Then cut the pounded meat into strips.
Step 4:

Heat a skillet until hot and add a little vegetable oil. Add the strips of pork and cook until lightly browned.
Step 5:

Peel the onion and rinse it in cold water. Then cut it into half-rings or a bit smaller.
Step 6:

Add the chopped onion to the meat in the skillet. Stir and cook everything together for about 10 minutes over low heat. The onion will soften and smell wonderfully fragrant.
Step 7:

Sprinkle the meat with flour. To spread it evenly, it helps to sift it through a small strainer. Stir the flour into the meat.
Step 8:

Now add the sour cream to the meat in the skillet. Stir and warm the meat in the sour cream for a couple of minutes.
Step 9:

Then add the tomato paste. Season with a little salt to taste and add spices — ground pepper is plenty. Stir everything, cover, and cook over low heat for about 20–25 minutes. Add a splash of water or beef broth if needed.
Step 10:

As it braises, the meat turns tender and the sauce thickens. A side of mashed potatoes makes a perfect pairing. Enjoy!

Important! The wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe. For all the details on choosing the perfect pan for different dishes, read here.
Besides pork, you can make this dish with any other meat. Keep in mind the cooking time, flavor, and calorie count will change. For example, beef takes longer than pork, while chicken breast or turkey takes less.
Since everyone's tolerance for salty, sweet, bitter, spicy, sour, and hot is different, always add spices and seasonings to your own taste! When you're using a seasoning for the first time, remember that some are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for example).
