Rich, savory, and ready in about 30 minutes, this classic beef stroganoff brings tender beef, soft onions, and a silky sour cream sauce together in one skillet.
Ingredients
- 600 g beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced salt 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper 30 g butter 15 ml neutral oil 2 medium onions, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced 5 g flour 120 ml dry white wine 180 ml beef broth 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 250 g sour cream 2 tbsp parsley, chopped 2 tbsp dill, chopped
Instructions
- 1Slice the beef thinly against the grain, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions until soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beef in a single layer and sear quickly until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat. Pour in the wine and let it reduce by half. Stir in the broth, Dijon, and Worcestershire, then simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream until smooth. Warm through gently for 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with parsley and dill, then serve.
Best Served With
buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables
Cook's Note
Use a heavy skillet and sear the beef strips in a very hot pan for about one minute per side; cook in batches to avoid overcrowding so the meat browns rather than steams.
Why This Recipe Works
Quick searing builds flavor without overcooking the beef. Wine and broth give the sauce depth, while sour cream adds richness and keeps the finish smooth.
Make It Yours
Add 250 g sliced mushrooms with the onions. Finish with a squeeze of lemon for a brighter sauce. Swap the wine for brandy for deeper flavor.
