Creamy Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff
Description
This stroganoff recipe starts with thin slices of beef seasoned and browned in butter. Separately, onions, garlic, and fresh mushrooms are sautéed until tender. The beef rejoins the pan along with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper, creating a flavorful base. The sauce thickens with flour or cornstarch and finishes with sour cream added off the heat to avoid curdling, yielding a smooth creamy sauce.
The dish combines rich, savory flavors from the beef and mushrooms with a creamy, slightly tangy sauce. The tender beef slices and softened mushrooms give it a satisfying mouthfeel.
Serve the stroganoff over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a comforting dinner. Choosing beef with good marbling helps keep the meat tender during cooking. If the sauce is too thick, thin it slightly with broth or water to achieve the desired consistency.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ - 2 pounds beef thinly sliced , (sirloin, chuck, round etc.)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 2 cups mushrooms fresh, sliced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon dried mustard
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Season your beef with salt and pepper. I use steaks or a small roast to make this dish. Frankly I buy whatever is on sale. I usually keep some thinly sliced with salt and pepper all over it in my freezer. so I can make this dish whenever I am missing my grandmother or the craving hits!
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium to medium high heat and wait for it to melt.
- Once melted and sizzling, sear the sliced beef until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Cover loosely with tinfoil if desired. To be honest I never do because my grandmother didn't.
- Add remaining butter to the pan. Next, add your onions and fry them until they are starting to become tender. Add the garlic and stir until combined. Finally add your mushrooms and fry until they are tender, about 10 more minutes.
- Return the beef strips to the pan. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add dried thyme, dried mustard, paprika, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer.
- Sprinkle the flour or cornstarch all over the top of the beef mixture and stir to combine. That is the way she did it. You can also remove a scoop of sauce into a measuring cup and stir flour or cornstarch with it until blended and then return it to your skillet if you prefer.
- Taste the beef mixture. You can add tomato paste, red wine or crushed red pepper flakes at this point if desired. I don't usually but I have and they are sometimes a nice change. You might also find you prefer more salt or pepper. Add it now if necessary.
- Simmer on low for around 30 minutes and your sauce has nicely thickened. Stir occasionally while simmering. Remove and measure sour cream from the fridge and set aside.
- Cook egg noodles, rice, potatoes or other pasta according to package instructions while sauce is thickening.
- Remove stroganoff from heat. Stir in sour cream right before you serve over top pasta, mashed potatoes or rice. Enjoy!
Notes
- Frozen chopped onions can be used in place of fresh to save time with minimal flavor loss.
- Add sour cream off heat to prevent curdling and maintain sauce creaminess.
- Use beef with good marbling for more tender results.
- Adjust sauce thickness with extra broth or water if needed.
