How to Make Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients

2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter
1 1/2 pounds (600 grams) beef sirloin steak, sliced
8 ounces (230 grams) fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups (375 milliliters) beef flavored broth
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) salt
1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (375 milliliters) sour cream
3 cups (600 grams) hot cooked egg noodles
Sea salt (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

How to make it

Step 1  Preparing the Beef

1 Gather the ingredients. 

This recipe will make about 6 servings of beef stroganoff. This is a hearty dish that is most often eaten in the chilly winter months. Families love it, and it’s also a perfect solution when you need to serve something tasty to a group without a lot of time to prepare.[1

Preparation will take about 20 minutes.

It will take you a total of about 40 minutes to cook the entire dish.

2 Cut away the excess fat and slice the beef.

 Carefully remove the excess fat from the sirloin and dispose of it. Slice the sirloin into 1 ½ x 2 inch (3.5 cm x 5 cm) strips across the grain of the meat. The “grain” refers to the direction that the muscle fibers – which look like white streaks – are aligned. Once you figure out the direction, slice across the grain, not parallel with it.

3 Season and brown the beef.

 Use sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to season both sides of the beef. Heat the oil and the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add about half of the sirloin strips to the skillet and brown them quickly on both sides.

Remove the browned meat and add the remaining batch to the skillet.

Brown the final batch and remove the slices from the skillet.

 Step 2 Making the Sauce

1 Add the onion, garlic and mushrooms.

Chop up two medium onions and finely chop the garlic. Slice the mushrooms. Add them all to the same skillet you were browning the meat in. Stir occasionally until the onions are tender and look slightly translucent.

2 Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.

 Once the onions are tender, stir one cup of the beef broth in with the vegetables. Reserve the remaining ½ cup of broth. Add the salt and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Bring this to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer.

Allow the dish to simmer for about 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

3 Combine the remaining broth with the flour.

 Once they are well-mixed, add them to the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the browned sirloin strips back to the skillet, then stir in the sour cream.

Continue to simmer the mixture, stirring it frequently, while you prepare the egg noodles.

Do not allow it to boil.

Step 3 Putting it All 

1 Boil water and cook the egg noodles

Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil and then add the egg noodles. Directions differ from brand to brand, so check the packaging to see how long you need to boil the pasta.

Cook the noodles until they are ready.

Remove them from the heat and drain well.

2 Plate the noodles and spoon the beef mixture over them.

Divide the drained noodles up into 6 even portions and put them on serving plates. Pour a large spoonful of the beef mixture over each portion of egg noodles.

Garnish with parsley (optional).

3 Serve the dish. 

Once you’ve prepared each plate, serve them immediately. You can serve the dish alone or along with some crusty French bread. Put any leftovers in a container with an airtight lid.

Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
