Description
A rich and creamy Beef Stroganoff made with tender seared steak, mushrooms, and a savory sauce, perfect served over pasta, rice, or mash.
Ingredients
- 500g / 1lb steak
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
- 250g / 9oz chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, finely diced
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 360ml / 1 1/2 cups beef stock
- 120ml / 1/2 cup double/heavy cream
- 60ml / 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Vegetable oil, as needed
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives, finely diced, to serve
- Pasta, rice or mash, to serve
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from the beef, then slice thinly. Pat dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add half the beef in a single layer and sear for 1 minute per side. Remove and repeat with remaining beef, adding more oil if needed. Set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and melt the butter in the same pan. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened. Add mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until lightly browned and moisture has evaporated. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the flour, then gradually pour in the beef stock, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Add the cream, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Return the beef and its juices to the pan. Simmer for 1 minute until heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh chives.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream and sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Do not overcook the beef to keep it tender.
- Sirloin or ribeye works best for this recipe.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
