Ingredients

  • 1 pound rib eye steak cut into small thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounce cremini mushrooms stems trimmed and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 3 cups beef broth low sodium
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 8 ounces egg noodles

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon 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 tablespoon oil and repeat with remaining beef.

  • Turn the heat down to a medium-high. Add the butter and melt. When the butter has melted, add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.

  • Add the mushrooms and cook until they start to brown. Scrape bottom of fry pan to get all the golden bits off (this is flavour!).

  • Stir in the wine and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth, sour cream and stir until incorporated. Don't worry if it looks split, sour cream will "melt" as it heats.

Notes

  1. Beef: You can substitute rib eye steak with other tender cuts like sirloin or tenderloin.
  2. Sour Cream: For a lower-fat alternative, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Just note that this will slightly alter the flavor.
  3. Noodles: If you plan to have leftovers or are making this ahead of time, consider cooking the noodles separately to prevent them from becoming too soft.
  4. Storage: Leftover Beef Stroganoff can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. However, if you plan to freeze, it's best to do so without the noodles to maintain the dish's texture.
  5. Reheating: When ready to enjoy your leftovers, defrost overnight in the fridge if frozen, then gently reheat on the stove. If you've cooked your noodles separately, simply add them to the stroganoff while reheating.
