Ingredients
  • 500 g Beef sirloin or tenderloin
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 250 g Mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 cup Beef broth
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley

Prepare the Beef

Slice the beef sirloin or tenderloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge the beef in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Sauté the Beef

Heat olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef strips until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Make the Sauce

Pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until slightly reduced. Stir in the Dijon mustard. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Do not boil, as the sour cream may curdle.

Combine and Simmer

Return the beef to the skillet with the sauce. Simmer gently for 5-10 minutes, or until the beef is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Serve

Serve the Beef Stroganoff hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of beef?

    Yes, you can use other cuts of beef such as chuck steak, but be sure to tenderize it well before slicing. Also, cooking time might need to be adjusted to ensure the beef is tender.
  • Can I make this ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the stroganoff ahead of time, but add the sour cream just before serving to prevent it from curdling. Reheat gently over low heat.
  • Can I freeze Beef Stroganoff?

    Freezing is not recommended, as the sour cream can separate and become grainy upon thawing. If you must freeze it, use a stabilizer in the sauce and consider adding the sour cream after thawing.
