Slice the pork tenderloin into medallions about 1 inch thick.

Season both sides of the pork with salt, black pepper, and sweet paprika.

Dice the onion finely.

Chop 1 pound of cremini mushrooms.

Heat a skillet and add a spoonful of beef tallow, enough to coat the pan.

Let the tallow heat up until hot before adding the pork.

Add the pork to the pan and sear until browned, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the chopped onion and sauté on medium heat until soft and golden.

Add the chopped mushrooms and a bit of rosemary; cook until they release moisture and start to brown.

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with about 4 oz of cold milk and whisk until smooth.

Pour the flour and milk mixture into the pan to create a creamy sauce; stir and let it simmer until thickened.

Return the pork to the pan and let it simmer gently in the sauce until cooked through and tender.

Stir in a spoonful of sour cream and warm it through without boiling.
