Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound uncooked wide egg noodles
1/4 cup butter, divided
1 1/2 pounds thinly-sliced steak (I recommend flank steak)
fine sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
1 small white onion, thinly sliced
1 pound sliced mushrooms (I used a mix of button and baby bella mushrooms)
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 cup dry white wine*
1 1/2 cups beef stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream
chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook egg noodles in a large stockpot of generously-salted water until they are al dente, according to package instructions, then drain. (For optimal timing, I recommend adding the egg noodles to the boiling water at the same time that you begin Step 4, listed below.)
  • Meanwhile, as your pasta water is coming to a boil, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer, seasoned with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper, and let it cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes to get a good sear. Flip the steak, and cook on the other side until browned, another 2-3 minutes. Then remove steak from pan with a slotted spoon, transfer to a clean plate, and set aside. (If your pan is not big enough to fit all of the steak in a single layer, cook half of the steak in 1 tablespoon of butter. Then repeat with a second batch.)
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the sauté pan. Once it has melted, add the onions and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the mushrooms are cooked and the onions are soft. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Then add the white wine and deglaze the pan by using your cooking spoon to scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture cook down for an additional 3 minutes.
  • While the wine cooks down, whisk together the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and flour until smooth in a separate bowl. Pour the beef stock mixture into the sauté pan, stir to combine, then let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and cooked steak until combined. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve warm over egg noodles, garnished with a sprinkle of parsley and an extra twist of black pepper, if desired.

BEEF STROGANOFF

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.

Tips for Making the Best Beef Stroganoff

- Use high-quality beef: Look for well-marbled chuck roast or sirloin steak. - Slice the beef thinly against the grain: This will help it cook quickly and evenly. - Sauté the beef in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan, or the beef will steam instead of brown. - Use good quality sour cream: Look for full-fat sour cream with at least 30% butterfat. - Don't boil the sour cream: Stir it into the beef mixture over low heat until just combined. - Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice: Be generous with the sauce!
