    600 g / 1.2 lb scotch fillet steak / boneless rib eye

    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

    2 cups / 500 ml beef broth , preferably salt reduced

    1 tbsp Dijon mustard

    150 ml / 2/3 cup sour cream

    Salt and pepper

    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.

    Serve over pasta or egg noodles, sprinkled with chives if desired.

    **My own notes**: I love to make this recipe at home. I make the adjustment of also adding a little white wine and I add nutmeg. I also use sirloin. The cut you use isn’t crucial here, you don’t have to use what this recipe calls for. Cuts that work best are sirloin, Scotch fillet, sirloin tips, or if you happen to have trimmings from beef tenderloin that also works.

    Love stroganoff. I’ve always opted for a longer braised beef, but looks tasty.

    This is a crime.

    Stroganoff is better served with rice and fried potatos PERIOD.

    I once made this without the beef, onions and mushrooms but the flavour wasn’t Stroganoff

    What a nice pan to endure scratching it with tongs!

    What do you call a bunch of cows in a field pleasuring themselves?

  7. Love the flavor of stroganoff but do not like mushrooms. Anyone have an alternative ingredient?

  8. I make Stroganoff with venison and it works out quite well. I also add a dash or two of worcestershire sauce.

  9. Am I a pepper fiend?

    Or was this meal peppered by pierce Brosnan in Mrs Doubtfire?

    You can skip the flour if you just dredge your beef in it before browning. I think it gives the beef better texture in the final product as well.

    Recipe Tin Eats is one of my favorite recipe sites. She’s got a deep archive of stuff.

    No this recipe without Campbells makes me uncomfortable

    There is a place near me that serves beef or mushroom stroganoff over a bed of shoestring fries. So damned good
