I can eat this Russian Pork Gravy from a spoon, it’s so good! Make it with chicken or beef and get ready for some delicious gravy!
I was over a Russian ladies house who happened to serve this delicious gravy and couldn’t get over how good it tasted! I ended up asking her for the recipe. Her version was with water but I ended up tweaking a little, however the recipe still remains delicious! Ketchup really brings out a beautiful orange color and gives a nice boost of sourness without even detecting any in the gravy. Chicken or beef would work great for this gravy but the cooking time will vary. I highly recommend simmering the pork over low heat as that really makes the meat tender. Make this over our BEST Mashed Potatoes recipe and enjoy!
Ingredients for Russian Pork Gravy:
- 1 (10oz) Boneless Pork Loin Chop
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp Ketchup
- 2 cups water, plus more for simmering meat
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Dry Poultry Gravy Mix
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
How to make Russian Pork Gravy:
- Wash, pat dry and cut meat into small strips. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
2. Heat a small non-stick skillet over high heat; add the meat and sear until golden. Then add 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low cover and allow meat to simmer for 45 minutes.
3. When meat has finished simmering discard any liquid; season with 1/4 tsp of crushed coriander kernels and set aside.
4. In a medium sized saucepan heat oil and melt butter over med-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until browned (8 min).
5. Add 2 tbsp of flour and stir until flour is fully incorporated. Add the ketchup and continue to stir for about a minute.
6. Slowly add 2 cups of water, stirring the mixture until it comes to a light simmer; add the salt and gravy mix. Then add the pork and heat through. (Gravy should have thickened slightly and look a little translucent at this point.)
7. Add the heavy cream and bring to a light boil. Simmer gravy over low heat for another 5-10 minutes and remove from heat. (Keep warm until needed.)
