Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon canola oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into thin strips about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide
2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium Spanish onion, sliced
2 cups beef stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs fresh thyme
12 ounces extra-wide egg noodles
1 cup sour cream
3 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes and softened
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or large, heavy pot over medium-high heat, add the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Heat until the butter is melted and the oil is hot. Add the meat in batches and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side; set aside. Add the mushrooms, garlic and onion to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and slightly tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the meat back along with the beef stock, soy sauce, mustard and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pot, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 2 hours and 50 minutes. Add the thyme and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles in the boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and transfer to a bowl. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the noodles, stirring to melt the butter and distribute it.
  • Add the sour cream and cream cheese to the stroganoff and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • In a serving dish, place the egg noodles in an even layer and top with the stroganoff. Garnish with the chopped parsley.

THE BEST BEEF STROGANOFF



The Best Beef Stroganoff image

We used a marbled, tender piece of ribeye as the star of this comfort food classic. Two kinds of mushrooms are cooked until crispy to add an extra element of flavor. The whole dish is brought together with a rich, tangy sauce made with sour cream and Dijon and served over egg noodles.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound ribeye steak, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 2-by-1/2-inch strips
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
8 ounces white button mushrooms, quartered
7 ounces shiitakes, caps sliced (stems removed and discarded)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups beef broth or beef stock
10 ounces medium or wide egg noodles
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped chives, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Season the beef with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, untouched, until starting to turn brown in some spots, about 1 minute. Use tongs to flip the pieces and continue cooking until deep golden brown but still undercooked in the center, about 1 minute (the beef will finish cooking in the sauce). Transfer the beef to a bowl and return the skillet to the stovetop on medium-high.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally to scrape up the browned bits in the pan, until the onions are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter, the button mushrooms, shiitakes and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms have released some liquid and are starting to crisp up, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until incorporated. Fold in the sour cream, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Pour in the beef broth and stir until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, while the sauce reduces, cook the egg noodles according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the chopped parsley and chives.
  • Fold the beef and any accumulated juices from the bowl into the sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through but still slightly pink on the inside, about 1 minute.
  • Divide the noodles between 4 bowls and top with the sauce and beef. Sprinkle with more chives, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the stroganoff will be. Look for tender cuts of beef, fresh mushrooms, and flavorful onions.
  • Tenderize the beef: Pounding the beef with a meat mallet or marinating it in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs will help to tenderize it.
  • Cook the beef in batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. This will prevent it from steaming instead of searing.
  • Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is a key ingredient in stroganoff, so make sure to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and rich.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it is thickened and creamy, but not until it is boiling. Overcooking the sauce will cause it to curdle.
  • Serve immediately: Stroganoff is best served immediately after it is cooked. The noodles will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it is allowed to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Beef stroganoff is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious beef stroganoff that your family and friends will love.
