Steps to Make Classic Beef Stroganoff
- Prepare the Beef and Vegetables
Thinly slice the top sirloin steak, thickly slice the mushrooms, finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic. Having all your ingredients ready makes the cooking seamless. - Sear the Beef
Heat oil in a large pan or dutch oven over medium-high. Add the beef strips in a single layer and sear without moving for one minute on each side until cooked. Remove from heat, keeping them warm, and repeat with remaining beef. - Sautรฉ Onions and Mushrooms
In the same pan, melt butter and add onions and mushrooms. Cook them for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly browned. Add minced garlic and sautรฉ for another minute. - Create the Sauce
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stirring for a minute. Pour in beef broth, scraping the pan’s bottom, then add whipping cream and simmer. Temper sour cream with a bit of hot sauce and add while whisking. Stir in Worcestershire, mustard, salt, and pepper. - Combine and Serve
Return beef and its juices to the pan, bringing just to a simmer. Serve the stroganoff hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, topped with fresh chives for a burst of flavor.
This beef stroganoff is truly delightful with its tender meat and hearty mushrooms. The sauce comes together beautifully, making it an irresistible dinner option. Serve it up with some egg noodles or creamy mashed potatoes, and don’t forget the chives for that extra zing. Enjoy every savory bite!
