Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb (450 g) round steak, sliced into thin strips
Seasonings and Flour:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons flour
Cooking and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Serving Options:
- Egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes
Instructions
- Combine meat with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing container, ensuring even seasoning distribution.
- Lightly dust seasoned meat with flour, coating each piece thoroughly to create a delicate exterior layer.
- Preheat a heavy skillet with olive oil over medium-high temperature, creating a sizzling surface for searing.
- Carefully place meat strips into the hot pan, allowing each piece to develop a rich golden-brown crust on both sides.
- Transfer browned meat to a separate plate, preserving the flavorful caramelized exterior.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and introduce finely chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the aromatic mixture, sautéing until they release their moisture and develop a tender texture.
- Pour beef broth into the pan, incorporating Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard to create a complex, savory liquid base.
- Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce, concentrating the flavors and developing a rich consistency.
- Gently return the reserved meat strips to the skillet, nestling them into the bubbling sauce.
- Reduce heat and fold in sour cream, stirring carefully to create a smooth, creamy sauce that coats the meat evenly.
- Let the stroganoff rest briefly to allow flavors to meld and meat to reach perfect tenderness.
- Serve the stroganoff over your preferred accompaniment, such as egg noodles, steamed rice, or creamy mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Use room temperature steak for even cooking and better browning, ensuring maximum flavor development.
- Pat beef dry with paper towels before seasoning to help create a perfect golden-brown crust and prevent steaming.
- Choose tender cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for the most succulent stroganoff experience.
- For a lighter version, replace sour cream with Greek yogurt and use lean beef cuts to reduce overall fat content.
