CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC BEEF STROGANOFF
This is a fairly lean version of beef stroganoff, as most recipes call for more cream. This is something you can easily adjust to your tastes. I like a little thicker version, with just enough sauce to coat the meat and noodles.

THE BEST CLASSIC BEEF STROGANOFF
No shortcuts here! This is the best beef stroganoff recipe there is! Recipe can be doubled, but don't freeze. Tenderloin can be expensive, so sometimes I opt for a cheaper cut of beef like sirloin, but this recipe is best with tenderloin. Serve over cooked noodles or rice.

CLASSIC BEEF STROGANOFF
According to legend, this recipe was invented by a chef working for a Russian General, Count Pavel Stroganov in the 1890's. Beef Stroganoff is basically tender strips of beef and mushrooms, cooked in a creamy sauce and rounded off with sour cream. You may want to make this with a tender cut of beef, such as tenderloin or top sirloin. Traditionally served over egg noodles, it also tastes delicious on rice or spaetzle.

Steps:
- Cut the beef in very thin strips. The easiest way to do that is to put the meat in the freezer until slightly frozen. Add salt and pepper and 1 TBS oil to the beef strips and mix together.
- Melt 3 TBS butter and 1 TBS oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Increase heat and add strips of beef. You want to cook the beef quickly, browning it on each side. You may need to work in batches.When both sides are brown, remove the beef into a bowl and set aside while keeping warm.
- Add remaining butter and oil to the pan and saute the onions until golden, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for a few minutes, allowing them to soak up the pan drippings.
- Add the flour and continue stirring, add the broth and let it simmer until the sauce has thickened and the floury taste is cooked out. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice and mustard, add salt and pepper to taste.
- Put the meat back in the sauce, heat through and add 1/2 a cup of sour cream, do not let the sauce cook anymore otherwise it will curdle.
- Serve on egg noodles, topped with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for a cut that is well-marbled, such as ribeye or strip steak.
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain. This will help it cook evenly and tenderize it.
- Use a large skillet to cook the beef. This will prevent it from overcrowding and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Cook the beef in batches if necessary. Don't overcrowd the skillet, or the beef will steam instead of sear.
- Don't overcook the beef. It should be cooked to medium-rare or medium, or it will become tough.
- Use a good quality sour cream. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the stroganoff.
- Serve the stroganoff over egg noodles or rice.
