1. Preparing the Ingredients
Start by preparing all your ingredients:
Cut the pork into strips or cubes, as you prefer.
Mince the onion and garlic.
Wash and slice the mushrooms.
Peel the carrots and then cut them into thin rounds (for faster cooking).
2. Searing the Meat
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil or a knob of butter.
Add the pork pieces and brown them over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until well browned on all sides.
Remove them from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
3. Cooking the Vegetables
In the same pan, add the minced onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
Then add the carrots and mushrooms. Season lightly with salt and add the thyme.
Cook for 7 to 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly.
4. Simmer with the sauce
Return the pork to the pan. Add the minced garlic.
Pour in the broth and cream, and add the mustard if using.
Stir well, cover, and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the meat is tender.
5. Adjust the seasoning
