How to Make Pork Sauteed With Sauerkraut

  1. Dice the bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon and set aside, reserving the bacon fat in the skillet.
  2. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook in the bacon fat until nicely caramelized (about 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the pork strips to the skillet and brown on all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the drained sauerkraut and cook for 10 minutes, until it begins to brown and wilt slightly.
  6. Sprinkle the sugar over the sauerkraut and mix well.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika and beer.
  8. Pour the beer mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer.
  9. Reduce heat to low and cook until most of the beer has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
  10. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Serve hot, garnished with the reserved crispy bacon. Enjoy over spaetzle!
