Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin thinly sliced
- 2 cups mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch of paprika
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
For serving:
- Egg noodles fettuccine, or other pasta of your choice
- Steamed vegetables or green salad as side dishes
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl to melt. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Slowly whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the tomato paste, Dijon mustard, and white wine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in the cooked beef and mushrooms back into the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the flavors have melded together.
- Stir in the sour cream, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Season the beef stroganoff with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika, to taste.
- Just before serving, stir in some freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
- Serve the beef stroganoff hot over egg noodles, fettuccine, or other pasta of your choice. Garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of paprika, if desired. Serve with steamed vegetables or a green salad as side dishes.
