Main Ingredients
  • 1 loaf French bread, cut into thick slices Ensure bread is cut thickly to hold the weight of the beef mixture.
  • 1 lb beef stew meat, cut into small cubes Can substitute with lean cuts of beef, chicken, tofu, or tempeh.
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (fresh or canned)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • to taste Salt and black pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley or green onions Add an extra kick of flavor.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and season them with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Brown the meat on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the onions turn translucent. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until tender, about 5 more minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
  4. Lower the heat and mix in the sour cream and Dijon mustard. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. While the beef stroganoff simmers, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the slices of French bread on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes until they’re golden and crispy.
  6. Spoon the beef stroganoff mixture over the toasted French bread slices. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or green onions and enjoy!

Notes

To keep leftovers fresh, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For freezing, only freeze the beef mixture as the bread may become soggy. Reheat the beef stroganoff in a saucepan and the bread in a toaster for best results.
