Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds beef sirloin or tenderloin thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned on all sides. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Return the browned beef to the skillet. Stir in paprika, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until beef is tender.
  7. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream until well combined. Do not boil after adding sour cream.
  8. Serve hot over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

For an extra creamy stroganoff, you can add a splash of heavy cream along with the sour cream. Ensure the sour cream is at room temperature to prevent curdling.
