Cubed Pork Loin

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed pork loin in a single layer and let it sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.

2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

3. Sprinkle paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper over the onions and garlic. Stir well to combine and let the spices toast for about a minute to enhance their flavors.

4. Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the broth to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

5. Return the seared pork loin to the skillet, ensuring all the pieces are coated in the flavorful broth. Let the pork simmer in the broth for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and tender.

6. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to incorporate. Simmer the pork in the cream sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

7. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed with more salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of chicken broth to loosen it up.

8. Once everything is cooked to perfection and the flavors have melded beautifully, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the Cubed Pork Loin for a pop of color and freshness.

9. Serve the Cubed Pork Loin hot over cooked rice or with crusty bread on the side. This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
