Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced (button or cremini)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Cooked egg noodles rice, or mashed potatoes for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing spoon
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Bowl for tossing beef

Method
 

  1. Prepare the beef:
  2. Toss the thinly sliced beef with flour, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. This helps thicken the sauce later.
  3. Cook the beef:
  4. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and cook until browned on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Sauté the vegetables:
  6. In the same skillet, add the onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and their liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  7. Make the sauce:
  8. Pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  9. Add the sour cream:
  10. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Do not boil to prevent curdling.
  11. Return the beef:
  12. Add the browned beef back to the skillet and stir to coat it in the sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
  13. Serve:
  14. Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
