Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

Season beef strips with salt and black pepper.
Lightly coat with flour, shaking off excess.

Step 2: Sear the Beef

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add beef strips and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add onions and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir to deglaze the pan.
Simmer for 5 minutes, letting the sauce reduce slightly.

Step 5: Finish with Sour Cream

Lower the heat and stir in sour cream and paprika. Mix until smooth.
Return the beef to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

Spoon the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Use High-Quality Beef – Sirloin or ribeye ensures tender, flavorful meat.
Don’t Overcook the Beef – Sear quickly and return to the sauce at the end to keep it juicy.
Use Full-Fat Sour Cream – For the creamiest, richest sauce.
Make It Extra Thick – Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water if you prefer a thicker sauce.
