Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Beef Stroganoff is a rich and comforting dish featuring tender beef in a creamy mushroom sauce, traditionally served over egg noodles. This recipe provides a straightforward method for creating this hearty meal at home.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beef:
    • Pat the sliced beef dry with paper towels.
    • Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the Beef:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
    • Sear the beef for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
    • Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  3. Cook the Vegetables:
    • In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed.
    • Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
    • Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Make the Sauce:
    • Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly.
    • Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
    • Add Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer.
    • Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
  5. Combine Beef and Sauce:
    • Return the cooked beef and any juices from the plate to the skillet.
    • Stir in the sour cream until well combined.
    • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beef is heated through and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
    • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the Beef Stroganoff hot over cooked egg noodles or rice.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Tips for Perfect Beef Stroganoff:

  • Cutting the Beef: Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
  • Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream at the end of cooking to prevent curdling.
  • Variations: You can add a splash of white wine or Dijon mustard for additional depth of flavor.

Enjoy this classic Beef Stroganoff recipe, perfect for a cozy and satisfying meal with family and friends!
