Beef Stroganoff is a rich and cozy dish with tender strips of beef, sautéed mushrooms, and a creamy, savory sauce — all traditionally served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes. It’s the kind of meal that warms you from the inside out.

🧄 Ingredients:

(Serves 4)

🥩 For the beef:

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tbsp flour (optional, for slight thickening)
1 tbsp oil + 1 tbsp butter, for sautéing

🍄 For the sauce:

1 tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for lighter version)
Salt & pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (for garnish)

🍜 Optional sides:

Egg noodles
Mashed potatoes
Rice or cauliflower mash

🔧 Instructions:

1. Sear the beef:

Season beef strips with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of flour (optional).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil + butter, then quickly sear the beef in batches until browned.
Remove and set aside (don’t overcook — you want it juicy!).

2. Cook the veggies:

In the same pan, melt butter, then sauté onion and garlic until soft.
Add mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and turn golden.

3. Make the sauce:

Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Stir and simmer 5–7 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth (don’t boil it!).
Add beef back in and warm through for a couple minutes.

4. Serve:

Spoon over noodles, mash, or rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a little cracked pepper.

💡 Tips & Twists:

✔️ Use stroganoff cut beef or even ground beef for a quick version
✔️ Add a splash of white wine or brandy to the sauce for extra depth
✔️ Make it extra creamy with a touch of cream cheese or heavy cream
