Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef (sirloin or tenderloin), cut into thin strips
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 2 tablespoons Flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Egg Noodles or Rice, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Slice the beef, mushrooms, and onion. Mince the garlic, and set aside.
- Sear the beef: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter, add the diced onion, and cook until it becomes translucent (about 3 minutes). Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Make the sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the beef broth and soy sauce while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
- Combine and finish: Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream until fully combined. Return the beef to the skillet and stir everything together. Let it cook on low for another 5 minutes to heat through.
- Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice, garnishing with fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
For a twist, try adding fresh herbs like thyme or dill for added flavor.
