Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Sauce
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work best)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Serving
- Egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes (for serving)
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Onion and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
- Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.
- Incorporate Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and onions, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Create the Sauce: Slowly add the beef broth while stirring, followed by Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add Creams and Season: Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine Beef and Sauce: Add the cooked beef back into the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the beef is heated through and coated in the sauce.
- Serve: Serve the Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use cremini mushrooms instead of button mushrooms.
- Ensure beef strips are thinly sliced for quick cooking and tenderness.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to personal taste.
- Can be made with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version, added at the end off heat to prevent curdling.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture at its best.
