    Stroganoff... Beef Stroganoff

    January 21, 2021 by Jurga 2 Comments

    This Beef Stroganoff combines succulent sautéed beef with tangy onions and tender mushrooms to make this a family favorite!

    Yum! Stroganoff...Beef Stroganoff is definitely the ultimate comfort food (or as my husband calls it "marrying food"!). It's not exactly diet food but it sure is good!!

    Our sons are always asking for this dish as they are never bored with it. It is easy to put together for a last minute meal. It's simple, savory and satisfying!

    Once you make it, you (and your guests) will understand just why beef stroganoff, created in Russia well over a hundred years ago, is still an international favorite. Here is a little history of the dish from Bon Appétit.

    What is the best meat for Stroganoff?

    Pieces of raw beef and sliced mushrooms.

    You will want to make stroganoff with a tender cut of beef, such as tenderloin or top sirloin. On occasion, leftover cooked steak (although a rarity in our home) can be used.

    A simple and refreshing salad like the Heart of the Artichoke Sicilian Salad would complement this dish perfectly!

    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 3 - 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
    • 2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
    • ½ cup minced shallots or onions
    • ¾ pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
    • 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour

    Instructions

    • Dry all surface moisture from steak strips with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
    • Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat.
    • Add beef in 2 batches and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides but still pink inside, about 1 minute.
    • With a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate.
    • Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter and oil.
    • Sauté shallots or onions with mushrooms until translucent and tender, about 8-10 minutes.
    • Transfer to the plate with the steak, leaving as much butter and oil in the skillet as possible.
    • If necessary, add butter to make about 2 tablespoons, then blend in flour and cook until frothy, stirring.
    • Add beef stock in a slow stream, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes to make a roux.
    • Add Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to taste and red pepper. Simmer and stir until thickened and smooth.
    • Add beef, onions or shallots and mushrooms to sauce and heat through.
    • Remove from heat and blend in sour cream and mustard.
    • Warm to serving temperature and serve over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
    • Garnish with dill or parsley.

    Notes

    Gr8 Tips: 
    • You can substitute ground beef for beef strips and yogurt for sour cream.
    • It helps to cut thin strips of the beef by first putting the meat in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.

      My family absolutely loved this recipe! Been making different stroganoff recipes over the years and this one is best plus tasted closest to the one my mom use to make. I used filet and followed the recipe exactly. Very easy. The leftovers were equally good. Will make again and again....a new family favorite.
