Equipment
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- knife and chopping board
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Pot for boiling noodles or rice
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef
- 8 oz Mushrooms
- 1 small Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 1 ½ cups Beef broth
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper
- ½ tsp Paprika
- 8 oz Egg noodles
Instructions
- Prepare the Noodles or Rice (Optional)Cook your egg noodles or rice according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sear the BeefIn a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
- Cook the VegetablesIn the same skillet, add butter and sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes until they’re tender and browned. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Make the SauceSprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir it in to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flour to absorb the fat. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Combine the Beef and SauceReturn the beef to the skillet, along with any juices from the plate. Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
- ServeServe the beef stroganoff over the prepared noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes
- Sear the Beef Properly: Make sure the beef is seared at a high temperature, which helps seal in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the final dish. Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook the beef in batches if necessary.
- Adjust the Thickness of the Sauce: If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more beef broth to loosen it up. If it's too thin, simmer for a few more minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Don’t Overcook the Beef: Since the beef will continue to cook when added back into the sauce, avoid overcooking it during the initial sear. The goal is to keep it tender and juicy.
- Use Full-Fat Sour Cream: For a rich, creamy texture, make sure to use full-fat sour cream. Low-fat versions may result in a less smooth, flavorful sauce.
- Play with Flavors: Experiment with adding a splash of white wine or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to elevate the flavor profile. A small squeeze of lemon juice can also add a nice zing if you like a touch of brightness.
