Beef stroganoff is a classic dish that combines tender pieces of steak, sautéed mushrooms, and onions in a creamy sour cream sauce. This dish is believed to have originated in Russia in the 19th century and has since become a popular dish around the world. It is typically served over egg noodles or rice and can be garnished with fresh parsley or dill. The key to making a great beef stroganoff is to use high-quality ingredients and to cook the steak until it is tender and juicy. The sour cream sauce should be rich and creamy, with a slight tanginess.

Steps:
- In a small bowl combine the mustard, 1 1/2 tsp of the sugar, a pinch of the salt and enough hot water (about a tablespoon) to form a thick paste.
- Let the mustard rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a heavy 10" to 12" skillet over high heat until a light haze forms above it.

- Stirring from time to time, simmer 20-30 minutes, or until vegetables are soft.
- Drain them in a sieve, discard the liquid and return the mixture to the skillet.
- With a large, sharp knife cut the fillet across the grain into 1/4" wide rounds.
- Lay each round on a board and slice them into 1/4" wide strips.
- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in another heavy 10" to 12" skillet over high heat until very hot, but not smoking.
- Drop in half of the meat and, tossing the meat constantly with a large spoon, fry for 2 minutes or so until the meat is lightly browned.
- With a slotted spoon transfer the meat to the vegetables in the other skillet, and fry the remaining meat the same way, adding more oil if needed.

Steps:
- Place the beef into a large bowl. Stir in the red wine, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes, then remove the beef and pat dry with a paper towel. Reserve the remaining marinade.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the beef; cook and stir until browned, then transfer to a plate, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any remaining grease from the skillet. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the onion is soft and translucent. Transfer the onion mixture to the plate with the prepared beef; set aside.
- Melt another 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat, and stir in the mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Place the cooked mushrooms in a bowl and set aside. Melt 1/4 cup of butter in the skillet. Whisk in the flour, cook and stir until the flour no longer tastes raw, about 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in the beef stock. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to medium low. Pour in the reserved red wine marinade, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, and red pepper flakes, then add the beef and onion mixture. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Stir in the mushrooms, sour cream, and cream cheese about 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a high-quality cut of beef, such as sirloin or ribeye steak.
- Make sure to slice the beef against the grain for more tender results.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. Cook it in batches if necessary.
- Cook the beef until it is browned on all sides, but not overcooked.
- Use a good quality sour cream for the sauce. Avoid using low-fat or non-fat sour cream, as it will not produce as rich and creamy a sauce.
- Add the sour cream to the sauce at the end of cooking, and do not boil it. This will prevent the sour cream from curdling.
- Serve beef stroganoff over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
