PORK, ONIONS AND BEER IN A CREAMY CARAWAY SAUCE



Pork, Onions and Beer in a Creamy Caraway Sauce image

This is very simple dish to make. Pork lightly sauteed and then braised in beer and onions until tender. The sauce is thickened with sour cream and caraway seeds to make a easy quick meal. Now you can use any cut of pork you like, but personally I like pork loin medallions or loin chops. I usually buy a whole pork loin and cut my own slices to get the exact thickness I want, and it also more cost effective. Besides, I freeze the other slices for another day. Serve this with German spaetzle which is available at most grocery stores, Whole Foods and certainly local ethnic markets. The last time I made this dish I did a quick saute of cabbage, butter, salt and pepper which was perfect with this.

Time 50m

Yield 4 Chops, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pork loin chops (1 1/4 - 1/2-inch thick)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups dark beer (you don't want to do a heavy stout or ale which can be a bit bitter, I prefer Michelob Dark or Amber)
2/3 cup sour cream (no low fat)
1 large onion (cut in half and thin sliced)
3/4 teaspoon caraway seed (You can use a bit more or less according to your taste)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Pork -- In a large baggie or you can use a small bowl or pie plate and add the flour, salt, pepper and thyme and dredge the pork in it to get a light coating of flour. Then in a large heavy saute pan, I like my cast iron, but any heavy pan will work fine. I DO NOT like to use Non Stick for this. Heat up the oil and butter to medium high to high heat and saute the pork on each side until golden brown. Don't forget they are going to continue cooking in the beer so it is not necessary to cook them all the way through.
  • Sauce -- Remove the chops just for a minute while you lightly saute the onions. They only need to be cooked for just a couple of minutes. Then add the beer scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the pork chops back to the pan and cover and reduce the heat to simmer and cook approximately 30 minutes. The last 5 minutes remove the cover so the beer can reduce a bit.
  • Finishing -- Add the sour cream, salt, pepper, caraway seeds and parsley and cook another couple of minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Serve -- As I mentioned, I like to serve this over spaetzle, but butter noodles, potato pancakes, even rice or mashed potatoes. Drizzle the sauce and onions over the chops.

Provided by Miss Annie

Categories     Pork

Time 1h15m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 lbs pork shoulder
2 1/2 cups beer
2 bay leaves
6 cups sliced onions, tightly packed
2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Combine the first 6 ingredients in a small bowl to make a paste.
  • Rub into the roast.
  • Pour the beer into a pressure cooker and add the bay leaves.
  • Set the rack in place.
  • Place half of the onions on the rack and set the pork on top.
  • Spread the remaining onions over top.
  • Lock the lid in place and bring to high pressure over high heat.
  • Adjust the heat to maintain high pressure and cook for one hour.
  • Let the pressure drop naturally or use a quick release method.
  • Remove lid.
  • If you cooked the pork at high pressure for the entire hour, your roast will be done.
  • Remove meat to platter and let set for 15 minutes, covered with foil.
  • Remove rack and bay leaves.
  • If there is more than 2 cups of liquid, boil over high heat to reduce.
  • There should be 2 cups of liquid to make the gravy.
  • Whisk in cornstarch and cook until gravy thickens.
  • Carve the meat and serve the onion gravy mixture over top.

Tips:

  • Selecting the right cut of pork for this recipe is essential. A fatty cut like pork shoulder or pork butt is ideal, as it will remain moist and tender throughout the cooking process.
  • Braising is a low and slow cooking method that allows the pork to absorb the flavors of the beer, onions, and spices. Be patient and let the dish simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the pork is fall-apart tender.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beer. A dark beer will impart a richer flavor to the pork, while a lighter beer will result in a more delicate flavor.
  • Caramelizing the onions is an important step in this recipe. It adds a depth of flavor and sweetness to the dish. Be sure to cook the onions over medium heat until they are golden brown.
  • Season the pork generously with salt and pepper before browning. This will help to develop a flavorful crust on the outside of the meat.
  • Serve the pork with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish. The tender pork and flavorful sauce will pair well with a variety of sides.

Conclusion:

Pork in Beer and Onions is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The pork is braised in a flavorful mixture of beer, onions, and spices until it is fall-apart tender. Serve it with your favorite side dish for a hearty and satisfying meal. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends.
