Classic Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak (or beef tenderloin if you’re feeling indulgent), cut into strips
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1/3 cup onions or shallots, finely diced
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef stock/broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- Fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice meat very thin and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large frying pan and cook meat until brown on both sides. Remove from heat and set aside in a bowl. To the pan melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and saute onions (or shallots) and mushrooms until golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium and stir in the flour until mixed thoroughly, then whisk in the beef broth, ensuring to deglaze the pan to scrape up all the bits.
- Stir in sour cream and heat through until hot, but be careful not to boil or the sour cream may curdle. Add the meat back to the pan and mix thoroughly. Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste.
- Serve over hot buttered egg noodles; garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
Following Whole30? Saute in olive or avocado oil, use arrowroot to thicken, and use a can of unsweetened coconut cream instead of sour cream. Serve over riced cauliflower or potatoes.
