- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz (225g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup (240ml) beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (or 1 ½ tsp cornstarch for gluten-free)
- ¾ cup (180g) sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

Instructions
-
Prepare the Ingredients
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
- Finely chop the onion and garlic, and slice the mushrooms.
-
Sear the Beef
- Heat 1 tbsp butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef in batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
-
Cook the Vegetables
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter and sauté the onions and garlic until softened.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn golden brown.
-
Make the Sauce
- Sprinkle flour (or cornstarch slurry) over the mushrooms and stir well.
- Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Combine Everything
- Reduce heat to low, return the seared beef to the skillet, and stir in sour cream. Mix gently until well combined. Do not boil, as sour cream may curdle.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve & Garnish
- Serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use cornstarch instead of flour and serve with gluten-free pasta or rice.
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute cashew cream or coconut cream for sour cream.
- To enhance the flavor, add a splash of red wine while simmering the sauce.
- For meal prep, store Stroganoff in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
