How to Make It

  • 1

    Cut 600g of beef into thin, bite-sized strips and pat them very dry with a paper towel.

  • 2

    Slice 150g of onions and 200g of mushrooms into thin, uniform pieces.

  • 3

    Melt 25g of butter in a large pan over high heat, sear the beef in batches until browned, then remove and set aside.

  • 4

    In the same pan, melt another 25g of butter and sauté the onions and mushrooms until tender and lightly caramelized.

  • 5

    Sprinkle 30g of flour over the vegetables, stirring constantly for 2 minutes to cook the raw flour taste away. Gradually pour in 250ml of beef broth, stirring until smooth, and simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  • 6

    Turn the heat to low, slowly stir in 200ml of sour cream until smooth, then return the beef and its juices to the pan.

  • 7

    Season with 7g of salt and 3g of black pepper. Warm gently on low heat for 2 minutes, without letting the sauce boil, just until the beef is heated through.

  • 8

    Serve immediately while the sauce is glossy and the meat remains tender.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Beef Stroganoff?

Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish consisting of thinly sliced beef sautéed in a rich, creamy sauce made with sour cream. It is traditionally served over egg noodles, rice, or fried potatoes.

Which cut of beef should I use?

Sirloin or tenderloin is best as these cuts are naturally soft and cook quickly, which is essential to keep them from becoming tough.

Why sear the beef in batches?

Overcrowding the pan will cause the meat to steam rather than brown, resulting in a loss of flavor and an unappealing gray color.

Can I substitute sour cream?

You can use crème fraîche for a richer, more stable sauce, but avoid standard yogurt as it may curdle at high heat.

How do I prevent the sauce from curdling?

Add the sour cream only after removing the pan from the heat or keep the temperature very low and avoid letting it boil rapidly.
