Ingredients
- Beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into strips – 1 lb (450 g)
- Onions diced – 1 medium (150 g)
- Garlic minced – 2 cloves (6 g)
- Beef broth – 1 cup 240 ml
- Sour cream – 1/2 cup 120 g
- Heavy cream – 1/2 cup 120 ml
- Butter – 2 tbsp for sautéing (28 g)
- Flour – 2 tbsp for thickening the sauce (16 g)
- Paprika – 1 tsp 2 g
- Salt & pepper – to taste
- Egg noodles – 3 cups for serving (180 g)
Instructions
Step 1: Sear the Beef
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted, add the beef strips and sear them until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Don’t overcrowd the pan; sear in batches if needed. Once browned, remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Onions and Garlic
- In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and melt. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and golden. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Step 3: Create the Sauce
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to combine. Gradually add the beef broth, whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 4: Add the Cream
- Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in sour cream and heavy cream, making sure everything is well combined. Add the beef strips back into the pan and stir to coat them in the sauce. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Step 5: Season and Serve
- Season with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well and serve the beef stroganoff over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley and sour cream for an extra touch. Enjoy!
