Description
A cozy Beef Stroganoff recipe featuring tender beef in a creamy sauce, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin or tender cut, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup plain sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice, for serving
Instructions
- Prep the beef: Pat the beef strips dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Brown in batches: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add beef and sear 1–2 minutes per side until browned.
- Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining meat.
- Sauté aromatics: Reduce heat and add remaining oil, sauté onions until translucent and golden, about 6–8 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and brown.
- Build the sauce: Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then sprinkle flour and stir to combine.
- Pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps, then add Dijon and Worcestershire sauce.
- Return beef to pan: Add seared beef and juices back; simmer for 3–5 minutes until cooked through and sauce thickens.
- Finish with sour cream: Remove from heat, stir in sour cream until smooth, adjust seasoning, and garnish with parsley.
Notes
Ensure beef is at room temperature for better searing. For creaminess without curdling, add sour cream off heat.
