BEEF STROGANOFF



Beef Stroganoff image

RECIPE VIDEO ABOVE. Juicy strips of beef smothered in a sour cream mushroom gravy - a quick dinner everyone will love! KEY STEPS: Sear beef super quickly for maximum juiciness and use a large skillet (for quick sear + fast sauce reduction). Stroganoff calls for good beef but if you only have a budget cut, use this easy Chinese method to tenderise the beef (it's called "velveting"). It's life changing - and perfect for Stroganoff.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

600 g / 1.2 lb scotch fillet steak / boneless rib eye ((Note 1))
2 tbsp vegetable oil (, divided)
1 large onion ((or 2 small onions), sliced)
300 g / 10 oz mushrooms (, sliced (not too thin))
40 g / 3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour ((Note 2))
2 cups / 500 ml beef broth (, preferably salt reduced)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
150 ml / 2/3 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper
250 - 300 g / 8 - 10 oz pasta or egg noodles of choice ((Note 3))
Chopped chives (, for garnish (optional))

Steps:

  • Use your fist (or rolling pin or mallet) to flatten the steaks to about 3/4cm / 1/3" thick. Slice into 5mm / 1/5" strips (cut long ones in half), discarding excess fat.
  • Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Scatter half the beef in the skillet, QUICKLY spread it with tongs. Leave untouched for 30 seconds until browned. Turn beef quickly (as best you can!). Leave untouched for 30 seconds to brown. Immediately remove onto a plate. Don't worry about pink bits and that it will be raw inside.
  • Add remaining 1 tbsp oil and repeat with remaining beef.
  • Turn heat down to medium high. Add butter, melt. Then add onions, cook for 1 minute, then add mushrooms.
  • Cook mushrooms until golden. Scrape bottom of fry pan to get all the golden bits off (this is flavour!).
  • Add flour, cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add half the broth while stirring. Once incorporated, add remaining broth.
  • Stir, then add sour cream and mustard. Stir until incorporated (don't worry if it looks split, sour cream will "melt" as it heats).
  • Bring to simmer ,then reduce heat to medium low. Once it thickens to the consistency of pouring cream (3 - 5 minutes), adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add beef back in (including plate juices). Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from stove immediately. (Note 4)
  • Serve over pasta or egg noodles, sprinkled with chives if desired.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (2 pound) beef chuck roast, cut into 1/2-inch thick strips
½ cup red wine
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced

1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
⅓ cup sour cream
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Steps:

  • Place the beef into a large bowl. Stir in the red wine, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes, then remove the beef and pat dry with a paper towel. Reserve the remaining marinade.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the beef; cook and stir until browned, then transfer to a plate, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any remaining grease from the skillet.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality beef. Look for cuts that are well-marbled, such as strip loin or ribeye.
  • Make sure to slice the beef thinly against the grain. This will help it cook evenly and become tender.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the beef. Cook it in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality dry white wine for the sauce. A Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc works well.
  • Don't boil the sauce. Simmer it gently over low heat until it has thickened.
  • Serve the beef stroganoff over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
