Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish made with sautéed pieces of beef (usually tenderloin or sirloin), cooked in a rich and creamy sauce flavored with sour cream. It often includes onions, mushrooms, and sometimes a touch of mustard or paprika for extra flavor. It’s typically served over egg noodles or rice, making it a hearty and comforting dish.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) beef tenderloin or sirloin steak, thinly sliced into strips
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup sour cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Egg noodles or rice, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef: Season the beef strips with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic, cooking until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Make the Sauce: Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, until slightly reduced.
4. Finish the Dish: Stir in the sour cream until well combined and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Add the cooked beef back to the skillet, stirring gently to combine and coat the beef with the sauce.
5. Serve: Serve the Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness.
