🥘 Homemade Beef Stroganoff
Serves: 4–6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25–30 minutes
Ingredients
For the beef & sauce:
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced thin against the grain
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)

Instructions
1. Prep the beef
- Slice beef into thin strips (¼ inch).
- Season with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the beef
- Heat 1 tbsp butter + oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
- Add beef in a single layer and sear quickly (1–2 minutes).
- Do not overcook — it will finish later.
- Remove beef to a plate.
3. Cook onions & mushrooms
- Add remaining 1 tbsp butter to the pan.
- Sauté onions 3 minutes until soft.
- Add mushrooms and cook until browned, 5–6 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
4. Make the sauce
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir 1 minute.
- Pour in beef broth while whisking.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard.
- Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened.
5. Finish with sour cream
- Reduce heat to low.
- Stir in sour cream and paprika.
- Add the beef (and any juices) back into the sauce.
- Heat gently 2–3 minutes — do not boil or the sauce may separate.
Serve
- Spoon over hot egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
- Garnish with chopped parsley.
Tips & Variations
- Cheaper beef cuts (like chuck) work if slow-cooked first — ask me for that version!
- Add ¼ cup white wine when sautéing onions for extra flavor.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Use ground beef for a quick 15-minute “weeknight” stroganoff.
