Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs (680g) beef (sirloin, tenderloin, or ribeye), thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 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)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • 12 oz (340g) egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    • Slice the beef thinly against the grain for tenderness.
    • Finely chop the onion and garlic, and slice the mushrooms.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
