Description
A refined and creamy rendition of the classic Beef Stroganoff, featuring tender strips of beef seared to perfection, enveloped in a savory sauce enriched with mushrooms, onions, garlic, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
Ingredients
- Beef strips (such as sirloin or filet)
- Mushrooms, sliced
- Onion, finely chopped
- Garlic, minced
- Dijon mustard
- Sour cream
- Beef stock (or broth)
- Butter
- Olive oil
- Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes (for serving)
Instructions
- Slice the beef (such as sirloin or filet) into thin strips; season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Heat olive oil over high heat, sear the beef quickly (1–2 minutes per side), then remove from the pan.
- In the same pan, melt butter and sauté finely chopped onion until soft (about 2 minutes).
- Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms turn golden and their juices evaporate (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard to deglaze the pan and capture browned bits.
- Pour in beef stock, simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced slightly.
- Lower the heat and stir in sour cream (and a splash of lemon juice if desired), mixing until creamy.
- Return the seared beef to the pan, coating it in the sauce; cook just until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Notes
- Add a kick with cayenne or smoked paprika.
- Swap beef for chicken or extra mushrooms for a lighter or vegetarian-friendly version.
- Deglaze with a splash of white wine for added complexity.
- Stir in heavy cream for a richer sauce.
- Use cashew or coconut cream for a dairy-free adaptation.
