Recipe Overview
- Course: Main Course
- Cuisine: Russian
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 45 minutes
- Total Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 4 servings
- Calories Per Serving: Approximately 600 calories
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds beef tenderloin or sirloin, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup brandy or cognac
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons flour (optional, for thickening)
- 1/4 cup water (optional, if using flour for thickening)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Beef
- Slice The Beef: Begin by slicing the beef tenderloin or sirloin into thin strips. This guarantees fast and consistent cooking of the meat.
- Season: Season the beef strips with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Cook The Beef
- Heat The Oil And Butter: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Sear The Beef: Add the beef strips to the skillet and sear them until browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. After taking the steak out of the skillet, set it aside.
Step 3: Cook The Vegetables
- Sauté The Onions And Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for one more minute.
- Add The Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 7-10 minutes.
Step 4: Create The Sauce
- Deglaze The Pan: Pour in the brandy or cognac, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for two to three minutes to gently decrease.
- Add The Broth And Seasonings: Stir in the beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
- Incorporate The Sour Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Stir until a creamy, smooth sauce is achieved.
Step 5: Thicken The Sauce (Optional)
- Prepare The Flour Mixture: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup water to form a slurry.
- Add To The Sauce: Gradually stir the flour mixture into the sauce, cooking until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 6: Combine And Serve
- Return The Beef: Add the seared beef back into the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the beef is heated through.
- Cook The Noodles: While the beef and sauce are simmering, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Serve: Plate the egg noodles and top with the beef stroganoff. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips For The Best Beef Stroganoff
- Quality Beef: Use high-quality beef tenderloin or sirloin for the best texture and flavor.
- Searing: Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the beef to get a good sear and lock in the juices.
- Deglazing: Don’t skip deglazing the pan with brandy or cognac; it adds depth to the sauce.
- Sour Cream: Make sure to reduce the heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
