- 1 tsp lemon pepper
- 1 8 oz container sliced baby Portabella mushrooms
- 1 large sweet onion diced
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 Tbsp butter divided
- 2 cups chicken broth

- 4 Tbsp all purpose flour
- Prepared mashed potatoes Or 1 lb cooked fettuccine noodles

Instructions
- In a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed skillet cook the bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel to drain then crumble. Remove all but 2 Tbsp drippings from the skillet.
- Add 1 Tbsp butter and the pork tips to the skillet. Sprinkle the steak seasoning and lemon pepper over the pork, stir to coat. Cook over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes or until browned on both sides and no pink remains. Remove to a platter and keep warm.
- Add 1 Tbsp butter, sliced mushrooms and onion to the skillet and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Cook until softened and beginning to brown about 3-5 minutes then add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute longer scraping any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Add the chicken stock, tarragon, Worcestershire sauce, paprika and pork tips and juices, back to the skillet. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil.
- Mix the sour cream and flour together. Add to the skillet and stir until fully incorporated and the sauce is beginning to thicken. Lower to medium-heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
- Add 1/2 of the crumbled bacon to the pan. Stir to distribute.
- Remove pan from the stovetop and serve immediately over mashed potatoes, buttered rice or cooked egg noodles garnished with crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
Notes
- Spices - It's important to use a good steak seasoning for optimum flavor. It's perfectly fine for you to use one that you already enjoy to season the pork. Some inexpensive options that are readily available in most grocery stores include Montreal Seasoning, Kansas City Seasoning and Badia steak seasoning.
- Mushrooms - You can use white button mushrooms, baby portabella ,mushrooms to any variety of mushrooms you enjoy.
- Fresh Herbs - You can use fresh thyme or fresh rosemary in place of tarragon to change the flavor profile.
- Protein - If you're fortunate enough to find a package of pork tips, use those! Otherwise, this recipe could be adapted using chicken.
