Instructions

Step 1: Season 4 pork cutlets (6 oz each) with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer to a plate.
Step 2: Add 1 cup lager beer and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard to the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 5 minutes until reduced by half. Return pork to skillet, cover, and simmer on low for 15 minutes until cooked through.
Step 3: Mix 1 tbsp all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup cold water, then stir into the sauce. Add 1 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, simmering for 3 minutes until thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Boil 4 large potatoes in salted water until tender (15-20 minutes), then mash with 2 tbsp butter and salt to taste until smooth and creamy.
