Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients

• 1 lb top sirloin steak
• ½ medium onion, finely chopped
• ½ lb brown mushrooms, thickly sliced
• 1 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 2 tbs butter
• 1 tbs all-purpose flour
• 1 C beef broth

• ¼ C sour cream
• 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
• ½ tsp Dijon mustard

Directions

1. Sear Beef: Heat a deep pan over medium‑high with 2 tbs oil. Sear beef strips in a single layer 1 minute per side, in batches, until just browned. Remove and keep warm.
2. Cook Veg: Add 2 tbsp butter, onions, and mushrooms. Sauté 6–8 minutes until liquid evaporates and vegetables are lightly browned.
3. Build Sauce: Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits.
4. Cream: Add whipping cream and simmer 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Finish Sauce: Temper sour cream with a few tablespoons of hot sauce, then stir into the pan. Add Worcestershire and Dijon; season with salt and pepper. Simmer until creamy.
6. Combine: Return beef and any juices to the pan and warm gently to a simmer. Serve hot.
