Pork Tips Stroganoff with Mushrooms and Onion

This Pork Tips Stroganoff with Mushrooms and Onion is a cozy twist on the classic beef version. Tender pork loin tips are sautéed with savory mushrooms and sweet onions, then simmered in a rich, bacon-kissed cream sauce that brings it all together. Spoon it generously over creamy mashed potatoes, buttered rice or egg noodles for a hearty, comforting dish that tastes like pure homespun goodness.

Easy Pork Tips Stroganoff with Mushrooms and Onion Recipe

What are pork tips? Pork tips are simply small, bite-size cubes of pork cut from pork loin, pork tenderloin, or even boneless pork chops. For this recipe, I prefer using tender pork loin because it cooks up juicy and flavorful, but pork tenderloin or boneless chops work beautifully, too.

This Pork Stroganoff is a cozy twist on classic beef stroganoff, swapping in tender pork for a rich, satisfying spin on the original. The creamy sauce clings to every bite, making it perfect for spooning over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes. I love finishing it off with crispy bacon crumbles and a sprinkle of fresh chives for a pop of color and flavor. It’s the kind of down-home comfort food that feels a little special, yet easy enough for a weeknight dinner, and it always, always hits the spot.

    Love this recipe & can’t wait to try it. Will have to tweak it to decrease sodium content. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful recipes.

    This was delicious, the whole family liked it!
    Grocery store had pork tenderloin tips on sale so I got some, but hard to find a recipe for them. I think they cut the ends off the tenderloins to make them a certain size and these are left. This worked great!
    My diet is supposed to avoid fatty food so I used olive oil and skipped the bacon, and substitute something for the sour cream. Cream of mushroom soup worked but might try to find nonfat sour cream or yogurt next time.

    This is my families favorite pork dish. I don’t think of myself as a great cook, but this receipe makes me look good. lol I love the robust flavor that comes through when it is all put together at the end. I have shared it with my father-in-law whom I consider to be an excellent cook, and he raved about it! Thank you

    This is one of the most delectable recipes I have found in quite some time. I halved the recipe and there was still enough for my husband and me to have two meals. I served the stroganoff over narrow noodles. My husband, who makes “the best” beef stroganoff was totally impressed with the layers of flavor and the silkiness of the sauce. I especially like the idea of mixing flour into the sour cream and mixing both into the sauce. I think that decreases the propensity for a “breaking sauce”. I used all the spices indicated in the recipe and also added a healthy tsp. of Mrs. Dash Original seasoning. I didn’t have pork tips, so (as you suggested) I used a small pork tenderloin. This recipe is definitely a “keeper”. Thank you for sharing with your readers.

  5. In a move quite unusual for me, I followed this recipe exactly! It was delicious! I might suggest that you specify unsalted butter. Between the garlic salt and lemon pepper and salted butter, the dish was only slightly more salty for my taste.

  6. I just found your reciep today, I was feeling instantly “I’m gonna make this tonight “.
    Then I did.
    That was so amazing, Usually I ‘m making beef stroganoff with Pasta or butter Rice.
    But when I made this, it was sooooooooo good !! Especially Mashed Potatoes on that ! And I have no idea with Pork !

    Thank you so much, this one definitely repeat on my favorite dinner !!

    1. I’m delighted you enjoyed this, my family loves it as well. Such a nice change from beef. Thanks so much for letting me know!

  7. Hi Melissa – the picture seems to show bits of tomato but I do not see tomato in the ingredients list. Am I crazy?
