Russian Beef Stroganoff
Russian Beef Stroganoff is a classic comfort dish that combines tender strips of beef with a rich, creamy mushroom sauce.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef tenderloin or sirloin cut into thin strips
- 1 pound mushrooms button or cremini, sliced
- 1 large onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream room temperature
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- 12 ounces egg noodles
Instructions
- Pat the beef strips dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef until browned (about 1 minute per side). Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add butter and sauté mushrooms until golden brown (about 5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook onions until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken.
- Stir in Dijon mustard, then gradually add room temperature sour cream, whisking constantly.
- Return beef and mushrooms to the pan, heating through but not boiling (to prevent curdling).
- Serve hot over cooked egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.
