Add a little bit of the beef stock and stir (the mixture will be thick). Add some more of the stock and stir again. Return the frying pan to the heat and add the remainder of the stock and the sherry. Stir well and then add the browned pork. Bring to a boil and simmer gently for about 20 minutes.

Wipe the mushrooms (with a damp paper towel...do not wash in water or they will absorb the water and spoil the sauce). Slice the mushrooms and add to the pan and continue to cook for 10 - 15 more minutes. Add the cream, adjust the seasoning and heat through.
