Beef Stroganoff
This beef stroganoff is a simple, cozy dinner that always hits the spot. Tender beef, mushrooms, and a creamy, flavorful sauce come together in one skillet, great over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. It’s a classic for a reason, and once you try it, you’ll see why it never goes out of style.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs sirloin steak or ribeye, filet mignon, or flank steak, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1 medium Spanish onion sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1½ tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp chives minced
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- Buttered noodles for serving
Instructions
- Season the steak strips generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Let them come to room temperature for about 1 hour before cooking.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steak. Sear the steak, turning every minute, until it reaches medium-rare doneness (about 3 minutes per side or 130°F internal temperature). Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened and golden brown (about 10-12 minutes).
- Stir in the fresh thyme, minced garlic, and tomato paste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour into the pan, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the white wine and cook until it reduces by half, (about 2 minutes).
- Pour in the beef stock and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens, (about 5 minutes).
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the heavy cream and butter. Allow the butter to melt into the sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, as needed.
- Slice the cooked steak into thin strips and add it back into the skillet. Stir everything to combine and coat the steak with the sauce.
- Serve the Beef Stroganoff over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with freshly minced chives.
