Beef stroganoff is a savory dish made with juicy, tender beef and hearty mushrooms that are coated in a creamy sauce that is made with sour cream. The sauce is rich, flavorful, and similar to gravy.

This classic dinner is satisfying, comforting, and a family favorite. It is the perfect meal for busy weeknights because it only takes 30 minutes to make.

Beef stroganoff is traditionally served over egg noodles, but you can enjoy this flavorful beef and mushroom dish with any kind of pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or polenta.

Whenever you are craving comfort food, make beef stroganoff. I guarantee it will be a dinner favorite, it always hits the spot!

Ingredients

• Beef– Make sure you start with juicy, tender cuts of beef for the best results. I recommend using top sirloin steak. Boneless rib eye or beef tenderloin are also good options. Slice it into 1/4-inch thick strips.
• Olive oil– for sautéing.
• Butter– to create a rich sauce.
• Onion– diced.
• Mushrooms– don’t wash mushrooms to clean them! Use a slightly damp towel to gently clean then off. I use white mushrooms, but cremini, baby portobellos, or shiitake mushrooms will also work.
• Garlic– minced.
• Flour– to thicken the sauce.
• Beef broth– stock or beef bone broth will work too.
• Worcestershire sauce– adds a savory and sweet flavor with a distinct tang thanks to the vinegar.
• Dijon mustard– for a pungent, tangy kick!
• Sour cream– make sure the sour cream is at room temperature so it whisks right into the sauce. You can also use plain Greek yogurt.
• Chives– for garnish.

How to Make Beef Stroganoff

• Season the steak strips with salt and pepper.
• In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the steak strips to the pan, in a single layer. Cook for 1 minute, do not stir. Use tongs to flip the steak strips and cook for 1 more minute.
• Transfer to a plate. If the beef strips won’t fit in an even layer, cook in 2 batches.

• Turn the heat to medium and add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the onion and mushrooms. Cook until tender and mushrooms are browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

• Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. The flour will dissolve into the mushroom mixture.

• Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir until combined. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer. Stir in the sour cream.

• Add the beef to the pan and stir until well coated in the sauce. Let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Garnish with fresh chives.
