CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC BEEF STROGANOFF



Chef John's Classic Beef Stroganoff image

This is a fairly lean version of beef stroganoff, as most recipes call for more cream. This is something you can easily adjust to your tastes. I like a little thicker version, with just enough sauce to coat the meat and noodles.

CLASSIC BEEF STROGANOFF



Classic Beef Stroganoff image

According to legend, this recipe was invented by a chef working for a Russian General, Count Pavel Stroganov in the 1890's. Beef Stroganoff is basically tender strips of beef and mushrooms, cooked in a creamy sauce and rounded off with sour cream. You may want to make this with a tender cut of beef, such as tenderloin or top sirloin. Traditionally served over egg noodles, it also tastes delicious on rice or spaetzle.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 onion, finely diced
1 lb top sirloin steaks or 1 lb tenderloin, cut in very thin strips
1/2 lb cremini mushrooms or 1/2 lb button mushroom
3 tablespoons oil
6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup sour cream or 1 cup creme fraiche
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup beef broth
salt and pepper
chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Cut the beef in very thin strips. The easiest way to do that is to put the meat in the freezer until slightly frozen. Add salt and pepper and 1 TBS oil to the beef strips and mix together.
  • Melt 3 TBS butter and 1 TBS oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Increase heat and add strips of beef. You want to cook the beef quickly, browning it on each side. You may need to work in batches.When both sides are brown, remove the beef into a bowl and set aside while keeping warm.
  • Add remaining butter and oil to the pan and saute the onions until golden, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for a few minutes, allowing them to soak up the pan drippings.
  • Add the flour and continue stirring, add the broth and let it simmer until the sauce has thickened and the floury taste is cooked out. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice and mustard, add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put the meat back in the sauce, heat through and add 1/2 a cup of sour cream, do not let the sauce cook anymore otherwise it will curdle.
  • Serve on egg noodles, topped with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!

CLASSIC BEEF STROGANOFF RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Classic Beef Stroganoff Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by AzWench

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound beef tenderloin or sirloin steak, about 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound mushrooms, washed, trimmed and sliced
1 medium onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed beef broth (bouillon)
2 tablespoons catsup
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup sour cream
3 to 4 cups hot cooked noodles

Steps:

In same skillet, cook meat until light brown. In same skillet, cook meat until light brown. Reserving 1/3 cup of the broth, stir in remaining broth, the catsup garlic and salt. Cover; simmer 15 minutes. Blend reserved broth and flour; stir into meat mixture. Add mushrooms and onion. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Reduce heat. Stir in sour cream; heat. Serve over noodles.

Tips:

  • To tenderize the beef, use a meat mallet to pound it into thin strips. This will help the beef cook more evenly and quickly.
  • For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and olive oil to cook the beef.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly and becoming tough.
  • Cook the beef in batches if necessary. This will help to ensure that the beef is cooked evenly.
  • Don't overcook the beef. Beef stroganoff is best when the beef is cooked to medium-rare or medium.
  • Use a good quality sour cream for the sauce. This will help to give the sauce a rich and creamy flavor.
  • Add the sour cream to the sauce at the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the sour cream from curdling.
  • Serve beef stroganoff over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
