Ingredients
– 1 lb (450 g) top-sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
– 2 Tbsp neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)
– 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
– 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
– 1/2 lb (225 g) brown mushrooms, thickly sliced
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
– 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
– 3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy whipping cream
– 1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
– 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
– 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
– 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
– 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
– Optional garnish: 1 Tbsp chopped green onion or fresh parsley
– Optional accompaniment: 8-12 oz (225-340 g) egg noodles, cooked according to package directions
Instructions
1-First, get everything ready by slicing the beef thinly and chopping the veggies. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef for about 1 minute per side until it’s browned but still pink inside. Set it aside to keep it tender.
2-Next, lower the heat and add butter to the pan. Toss in the onion and mushrooms, sautéing for 6-8 minutes until they’re soft and golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute to bring out its aroma.
3-Then, sprinkle flour over the mix and stir for a minute to make a light roux. Pour in the beef broth and scrape up those tasty bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy cream and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
4-Now, temper the sour cream by mixing it with a bit of the hot sauce before adding it back in. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper, then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Finally, return the beef to the skillet and heat through for 1-2 minutes without overcooking.
5-Serve your beef stroganoff over egg noodles and garnish with green onion or parsley. For a fun twist, try it with rice or even a simple chicken stir-fry side for variety. This step-by-step beef stroganoff recipe ensures a creamy sauce that coats everything perfectly.
Notes
🥩 Use a high‑quality cut such as top sirloin or ribeye and slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
🔥 Sear the beef in batches; crowding the pan steams the meat instead of creating a rich brown crust.
🍶 Temper the sour cream before adding it to prevent curdling and keep the sauce silky smooth.
