Beef Stroganoff Recipe
Description
This Beef Stroganoff Recipe centers on sirloin steak cut into strips and coated lightly with flour to create a slight crust when seared. The beef is browned quickly to retain juiciness and prevent toughness. Onions, garlic, and cremini mushrooms sauté separately to develop flavor and texture before being combined with the beef. The sauce is built in stages by whisking flour into melted butter, then gradually adding beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and stone-ground mustard, which adds an assertive but textured tang compared to Dijon.
The stroganoff simmers to meld flavors and thicken the sauce before sour cream is stirred in to lend creaminess and smooth richness without curdling. This results in tender beef strips coated in a velvety mushroom sauce that pairs traditionally with cooked egg noodles for a balanced meal.
This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to three days, best stored separately from noodles to avoid sogginess. It also freezes well for up to two months, with instructions for thawing and reheating to preserve the beef's tender texture. The recipe emphasizes quick searing for the beef to avoid dryness and the use of whole grain mustard for added flavor and slight texture contrast in the sauce.
Ingredients
beef stroganoff
- 1 pound sirloin steak thinly sliced into 1 inch pieces
- 3 1/2 tablespoons flour divided
- 4 1/2 tablespoons butter divided, unsalted
- 1/2 onion sliced
- 2 garlic minced cloves
- 6 ounces cremini mushrooms trimmed and sliced
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons stone ground mustard or Dijon mustard
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
for serving
- 3 cups egg noodles cooked
- 2 tablespoons chives thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl combine steak, 1 tablespoon flour and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss together until steak slices are evenly coated. Set aside.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Add onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue to sauté for an additional 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a large plate.
- Return skillet to stove and melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Add coated steak slices to skillet and brown on each side for 1 minute. Transfer steak slices to plate with onion and mushrooms.
- Place skillet back over heat and melt remaining butter. Add flour and whisk about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup broth, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add beef and onion mixture back to the skillet and stir in remaining broth. Simmer until mixture has thickened and is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in sour cream and season with salt and pepper.
- Fold cooked egg noodles into sauce until full combined.
- Top dish with sliced chives and more pepper. Serve.
Notes
- Make the stroganoff up to 3 days ahead; store beef and gravy separate from noodles to avoid drying out.
- Reheat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, to avoid overcooking the beef.
- Freeze the beef and gravy mixture with noodles for up to 2 months; thaw in refrigerator before reheating.
- Sear beef strips quickly on each side to keep them tender and avoid dryness.
- Whole grain mustard adds a distinctive bold flavor and texture compared to Dijon.
