Experienced cooks have long been using ready-made mustard, mustard powder or sauce from this product to marinate meat. And no wonder, pork in mustard has an extraordinary aroma, the meat turns out soft and juicy, and the taste of such a dish is indescribable.
Fried pork in mustard marinade
Fried pork in a mustard marinade is prepared very simply and quickly; you get juicy soft pieces of meat with a golden brown crust sprinkled with sesame seeds.
It is better to marinate the meat the day before the day you are going to fry it (of course, put it in the refrigerator overnight), or at least 2-3 hours before. The process of preparing pork and marinade takes only 10-15 minutes. And the next day you will also fry a whole pan of meat in a maximum of 15 minutes.
- Pork (carb or tenderloin) – about 1 kilogram
- Chicken eggs – 4 pieces
- Mustard – 2 heaped tablespoons (this time we had “Russian”, but you can use any kind; depending on the type of mustard, the taste of the meat will have different shades)
- Potato starch – 1 heaped tablespoon
- Table salt – 2 teaspoons
- Pepper mixture - 1 teaspoon (you can replace it with just ground black pepper, you can add your other favorite spices for meat)
- Sesame seeds (you can do without them if desired) – 4-5 teaspoons
- Vegetable oil – 3-4 tablespoons
Preparation:
Wash the pork with cold running water, dry it with a paper towel or napkins, cut into pieces, slices about 1 centimeter thick.
Prepare the marinade filling by mixing eggs, mustard, starch, salt, spices (we have a mixture of peppers).
Mix the marinade thoroughly (it’s quicker to do this with a mixer, but you can do it with a spoon) until smooth.
Place the pieces of pork in a suitable sized container with a lid (in a saucepan or glass container), pour in the marinade, and be sure to stir so that the marinade penetrates between all the pieces of meat. Cover the pan (container) with a lid and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2-3 hours, or better yet until the next day. By the way, the next day you can fry not all the pork marinated in mustard sauce, but only part of it, and the other part the next day or even the next day. Pork in marinade keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
When it’s time to fry the meat, pour a little vegetable oil into a very hot frying pan, pick up a piece of pork with a fork, dip it (if you want) on one side in sesame seeds and put it on the frying pan with the side that was dipped in sesame seeds (watch our video recipe! ). Thus, quickly fill the frying pan with pieces of meat and slightly reduce the heat (to a level still above average). Fry until golden brown for about 4-5 minutes.
If you used sesame seeds, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the meat slices right in the frying pan during the frying process. Now the pork will be covered in sesame seeds on both sides. We remind you that you don’t have to do this at all; it will also be delicious without sesame seeds.
Turn the pork slices over and fry on the other side for about the same time - 4-5 minutes.
Remove the meat from the pan onto a plate or platter. Fried pork is ready! You can immediately fry the next portion in the same way. You can serve it with any side dish; it goes well with stewed vegetables or vegetable salad.
Prize tip for those who read the recipe to the end: you can cook chicken fillet, turkey fillet, and beef in the same way, but remember that chicken takes about the same time to fry as pork, turkey takes a little longer, and beef even longer. It is, of course, difficult to indicate the time exactly down to the minute: everyone’s frying pans and stoves are different, we focus on the appearance of a golden brown crust and remember that in this way marinated meat is fried much faster than meat that you have simply cut and perhaps beaten.

Homemade pork with champignons
Pork is a very tender meat that is easily digested without leaving behind an unpleasant heaviness in the stomach. Both adults and children love it, so why not please your loved ones with a tasty and satisfying dish. This recipe includes champignons, but they can be replaced with any other mushrooms: dried, canned or fresh. Ingredients:
- a little over a kilogram of tender meat
- 250 grams of fresh champignons
- 20 grams grainy mustard
- one large onion
- olive oil - for frying
- four tablespoons of sour cream (you can use store-bought cream)
- half a glass of white wine (preferably dry)
- 250 milliliters meat broth
Cooking method:
To make the dish appetizing, remember a few simple rules. Firstly, when going to the store to buy meat, try to buy sirloin - the pork will be more tender and soft. Secondly, make the broth in advance, but it should not be too fatty. Also, add ingredients such as salt and spices to suit your taste. Well, everything else is simple - stick to the recipe, and the food will turn out excellent!
So, first, cut the pork into medium pieces or strips, then transfer it to a saucepan with heated oil and fry, stirring occasionally with a spoon. When the meat acquires a slightly golden hue, remove it from the stove and place it in the pan. It is recommended to simmer the dish in a container with a thick bottom, then the food will never burn.
Now start preparing the vegetables: cut the onions and champignons into thin cubes, then fry both products in olive oil until half cooked. As soon as they change color, turn off the burner and add the ingredients to the pork. In a separate bowl, combine broth, dry wine, mustard and sour cream. Add salt, some spices of your choice and mix the sauce thoroughly. Then pour it over the meat and vegetables and send it to simmer. The food should be cooked over low heat for no longer than an hour. Don't forget about it - periodically look into the pan so that the liquid does not evaporate. If necessary, you can add a little water.
If you decide to use dry mushrooms, they should be pre-processed, otherwise they will be too hard and can ruin the dish. Proceed as follows: pour hot water over the mushrooms and let them stand for about half an hour. Then dry and fry with onions in a saucepan. You can do it differently: boil dried champignons, chanterelles, honey mushrooms - in general, those products from which you prepare food - and only then simmer them with onions.
Unusual property of mustard

How to store sauce with mustard and sour cream
How to store?
The finished sauce does not last long, as it is a completely natural homemade product without preservatives or chemicals.
If we are talking about cold sauce, then its shelf life is approximately the same as that of the sour cream you bought, even a day less. The ideal option is to cook it for one or two servings and eat it right away. The fresher it is, the tastier it is.
As for the hot sauce that has undergone heat treatment, it is prepared exclusively for one time. It needs to be eaten hot, and if it cools down, it can no longer be reheated - the taste will be completely different. So cook with one meal in mind!

Lean meat may stick to the foil, especially if the foil is thin. Therefore, before putting the pulp, you need to drop a teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the foil. You can add thinly sliced onions, carrots or a small amount of any vegetables you happen to have at home.
To bake pork well, you must follow several general rules:
- Choose a pitted piece with a small layer of lard on the surface, this will give the meat juiciness.

Place the chopped pieces of meat in a bowl with the marinade.
Coat the meat well with marinade on all sides. Cover the bowl of meat with cling film and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 60 minutes; I left mine to marinate overnight.

How to properly cook meat in mustard
It has long been known that mustard, due to its special natural qualities, is an ideal tenderizer for any, even the toughest meat. Using it as a breading makes the finished product juicy and tender. In addition, in its presence, the meat is better saturated with spices and aromatic herbs. Moreover, there is no taste or smell left from the mustard itself. This amazing feature has been used by many cooks for a long time. Even now, meat in mustard is very popular. There are many very interesting recipes for its preparation. As an example, it is worth carefully considering some of them.
Pork chop in mustard
By its nature, pork is a fairly soft and tender meat. To make a good chop, you don’t need to marinate it further. After all, aggressive ingredients can lead to the fact that the original product, on the contrary, becomes tough or even disintegrates into fibers. Therefore, it is better to cook such meat in mustard. This allows you to preserve its natural tenderness and protect it from drying out. To cook delicious meat in mustard, you will need a minimum set of initial ingredients:
for 200 grams of pork, 10 milliliters of vegetable oil, 2-3 grams of salt and ground black pepper, as well as 3 teaspoons of regular table mustard.
Preparing this dish is not at all difficult:
- First, washed and dried meat must be cut into pieces 1-1.5 centimeters thick. In this case, it is necessary to cut off all existing fat and excess films.
- Gently beat each piece with a kitchen hammer to make it even thinner.
- Coat the pieces with mustard on all sides.
- Place the frying pan on the fire and heat the oil in it.
- Place the meat in boiling fat and keep it covered for the first time (2 minutes). This will help the spices absorb better. Further processing must be carried out in an open container.
- As soon as a golden brown crust appears on one side, the product should be turned over and immediately sprinkled with pepper and salt. If desired, you can also add any seasonings (coriander, cumin, tarragon and others).
- On the second side, fry for no more than 3 minutes.
Meat prepared in this original way in mustard turns out very juicy, tender and incredibly tasty. Boiled rice is ideal as a side dish. Although there are other options.

Step-by-step recipe with photos
Choose pork that is not too fatty, with small layers of fat, so that the dish does not taste dry. I pour a little water into the pan to prevent anything from burning, but you can remove the water from the ingredients list - it doesn't matter. Do not add bay leaf - it burns during baking and becomes bitter. For spices, use those that suit your taste. I think that the classic set is enough: salt and pepper, because mustard plays the main role in the marinade.
Prepare the necessary ingredients for roasting pork in mustard in the oven and let's start cooking!
During the cooking process, I still wanted to add onions - they highlight the taste of the meat and give the dish more flavor. Clean the pork from veins and films, cut into medium cubes and place in a deep container. Peel the onion (if you will add it), rinse and cut it in any way, place it on the meat.
Add salt, ground black pepper, grain mustard (French, Dijon).
Grease the mold with vegetable oil, carefully mix all the ingredients together and place in the mold. Leave for 40-60 minutes to marinate.
Then preheat the oven to 200 degrees, pour water into the mold, cover with foil and place the pork in mustard in the oven for 40 minutes.
5-7 minutes before cooking, remove the foil and brown the dish. The pieces of pork will be covered with a golden brown crust on top, and the bottom will remain juicy.
Place the prepared dish on plates and serve with any side dish: vegetables, sour berries, mashed potatoes.
You can bake it with apples, cheese, mushrooms, pineapples. Each time there will be a new dish. You can bake not only in the oven in foil, but also in pots or a baking sleeve.
