Description
Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian-inspired comfort dish made with tender strips of beef, sautéed mushrooms, onions, and a creamy sour cream sauce. Served over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, this hearty meal is perfect for weeknights or special family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Chopped parsley for garnish
- Cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes, for serving
Instructions
- Season beef with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add beef in batches and sear until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté onions and garlic until soft, about 3–4 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and cook until golden and liquid has evaporated, about 5–7 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture and stir well. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring, then add Worcestershire sauce and mustard if using. Simmer until slightly thickened.
- Return beef to the pan and cook for another 2–3 minutes until heated through. Stir in sour cream and heat gently—do not boil.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot over egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Use high-quality, tender beef cuts like sirloin, tenderloin, or ribeye for best results.
- Sour cream can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Don’t overcook the beef—just sear it briefly to keep it tender.
