Beef Stroganoff Recipe
Description
The Beef Stroganoff starts by searing thin slices of sirloin steak in a hot pan to develop a browned exterior while keeping the inside tender. Cooking the beef in batches prevents overcrowding and ensures proper browning. The base of onions and mushrooms is sautéed until softened and browned, enhancing the flavor and texture. Garlic adds aroma before a bit of flour is stirred in to help thicken the sauce.
The sauce builds with beef broth and heavy cream, simmered until slightly thickened, then tempered sour cream is blended in for creaminess without curdling. Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper add savory depth and slight tang. The creamy sauce coats the beef and vegetables thoroughly.
This stroganoff pairs well with egg noodles, making a comforting and satisfying meal. Garnishing with green onion or parsley adds a fresh note and color contrast.
For best results, use cuts like top sirloin or filet mignon tips and slice thinly against the grain to maintain tenderness.
Ingredients
For the Beef Stroganoff:
- 1 lb sirloin steak thinly sliced into strips, top
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp butter unsalted
- 1/2 onion finely chopped, medium
- 1/2 lb brown mushrooms thickly sliced
- 1 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
To Serve:
- 1 Tbsp green onion to garnish, or parsley
- 8-12 oz egg noodles to serve
Instructions
- Place a large deep pan or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp oil and once oil is very hot, add thinly sliced beef strips in a single layer, cooking 1 minute per side without stirring. Cook until just browned and no longer red. Sear beef in 2 batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Remove beef to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add 2 Tbsp butter, chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sautee 6-8 minutes or until liquid has evaporated and onions and mushrooms are soft and lightly browned.
- Add 1 minced garlic clove and sautee 1 minute until fragrant. Add 1 Tbsp flour and sautee another minute stirring constantly.
- Pour in 1 cups beef broth, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan then add 3/4 cup whipping cream and simmer another 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
- Stir a few Tablespoons of the sauce into 1/4 cup of sour cream to temper it so the sour cream doesn’t curdle then add it to the pan while stirring constantly.
- Stir in 1 Tbsp Worcestershire, 1/2 tsp dijon mustard, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, or season to taste and continue simmering until sauce is creamy. Add beef with any accumulated juices back to the pan and bring just to a simmer or until beef is heated through.
Notes
- Choose tender cuts such as Top Sirloin, Boneless Ribeye, Filet Mignon, or tenderloin tips for the beef.
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain to keep the meat tender when cooked.
