Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin (thinly sliced)
- 2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Egg noodles or rice (for serving)
Instructions
- Sear beef slices in hot olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and caramelized, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- In the identical skillet, melt butter and introduce finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Saute until vegetables become translucent and release their aromatic essence, roughly 4-5 minutes.
- Dust the vegetable mixture with flour, carefully stirring to ensure even coating and prevent lumps from forming.
- Slowly stream beef broth into the skillet, whisking continuously to generate a velvety, uniform sauce without any unwanted clumps.
- Incorporate tangy sour cream and zesty Dijon mustard, blending seamlessly into the liquid base. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
- Gently reintroduce seared beef into the creamy sauce, allowing ingredients to meld together during a gentle 5-minute simmer. The sauce will naturally thicken and develop rich, complex flavors.
- Present the stroganoff atop a bed of tender egg noodles or fluffy white rice, garnishing with delicate chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- Choose lean beef cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture without excess fat.
- Pat beef dry before cooking to ensure proper browning and develop rich, caramelized flavors in the meat.
- Slice beef against the grain for maximum tenderness and easier chewing during eating.
- Use full-fat sour cream for a rich, creamy sauce that provides authentic traditional stroganoff consistency.
- For gluten-free version, replace wheat flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend when thickening sauce.
- Vegetarian adaptation works perfectly by substituting beef with mushrooms or plant-based protein strips.
- Add splash of white wine to sauce for deeper, more complex flavor profile that enhances overall dish complexity.
