Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 1 lb top sirloin steak
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 2 tbs butter
- ½ medium onion, finely chopped
- ½ lb brown mushrooms, thickly sliced
- 1 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbs all-purpose flour
- 1 C beef broth
- ¾ C heavy whipping cream
- ¼ C sour cream
- 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Directions
- Place a large deep pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 tbsp oil and once oil is very hot, add thinly sliced beef strips in a single layer, cooking 1 minute per side without stirring. Cook until until just browned and no longer red. Sear beef in 2 batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Remove beef to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add 2 tbsp butter, chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté 6-8 minutes or until liquid has evaporated and onions and mushrooms are soft and lightly browned.
- Add 1 minced garlic clove and sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add 1 tbs flour and sauté another minute stirring constantly.
- Pour in 1 C beef broth, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan
- Add the whipping cream and simmer another 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened
- Stir a few tbs of the sauce into ¼ C of sour cream to temper it so it doesn't curdle, then add it to the pan while stirring constantly
- Stir in the Worcestershire, the Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper, and continue simmering until sauce is creamy.
- Add beef with any accumulated juices back to the pan and bring just to a simmer or until beef is heated through.
