The Best Beef Stroganoff
Adapted from Food Network Kitchen
Ingredients
- 1 lb 450 g ribeye steak, trimmed and cut into strips
- to taste salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp 30 ml vegetable oil
- 5 tbsp 70 g unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 8 oz 227 g white button mushrooms, quartered
- 7 oz 200 g shiitake mushrooms, caps sliced
- 1 tbsp 15 ml fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup 120 ml dry white wine
- 2 tbsp 16 g all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup 180 ml sour cream
- 1 tbsp 15 ml Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp 15 ml Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 cup 360 ml beef broth
- 10 oz 280 g egg noodles
- 1/2 cup 120 ml fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp 15 ml chives, chopped, plus more for serving
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Season the beef with 1 tsp salt and plenty of black pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook untouched about 1 minute, then flip and cook until deep golden but still undercooked in the center, about 1 more minute. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add 1 tbsp butter to the skillet with the onion and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook, scraping up the browned bits, until softened, 4–5 minutes. Add 2 tbsp butter, both mushrooms, and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release liquid and start to crisp, 5–6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the wine, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to incorporate. Fold in the sour cream, Dijon, Worcestershire, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Pour in the beef broth and stir until smooth.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles to al dente. Drain and toss with the remaining 2 tbsp butter, parsley, and chives.
- Fold the beef and its juices into the sauce and cook, stirring, until the beef is cooked through but still slightly pink inside, about 1 minute.
- Divide the noodles among bowls, top with the sauce and beef, and sprinkle with more chives if desired.
Notes
- A marbled, tender cut like ribeye is worth it here — two kinds of mushrooms cooked until crispy add extra depth.
