Ingredients
- 500 g pork loin
- 1 onion
- 3 tbsps. tomato paste
- 1 tbsp. flour
- 2-3 tbsps. vegetable oil
- 5 whole black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 500 ml water
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste
Instructions
- Cut into small cubes pork loin.
- Peel onion and chop it into small pieces.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Add pork into the skillet and fry it for 5 minutes. Keep stirring meat cubes until each side is fried.
- Lower the heat to medium, add chopped onion and black peppercorns. Cook for additional 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle a tablespoon of flour over the meat and stir until every piece of pork will be covered in it.
- Add tomato paste; stir it in.
- Add 2 cups of hot boiled water (or you can even use vegetable broth). Stir the mixture until tomato paste fully dissolves in liquid. Add bay leaves.
- Wait until water boils in the skillet and then lower the heat again to minimum. Cover skillet with a lid and let the stew simmer for 30 minutes. Season tomato sauce to your liking. Add necessary amount of salt and freshly ground black pepper. There is a slight possibility that sauce can burn to the skillet. To prevent it from happening, stir goulash occasionally.
- Take the skillet from heat and leave it aside for about 10 minutes to rest before serving!
