Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin or sirloin, thinly sliced Can substitute with chicken for a lighter version.
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour For coating the beef.
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil For browning the beef.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter For sautéing.
For the Sauce
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup sour cream Use cold to prevent curdling.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped Optional, for garnish.
For Serving
  • Cooked egg noodles or rice For serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the beef slices with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with flour, tossing to coat evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices in batches, browning them on both sides. Once browned, remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and reduce heat to medium. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until the onions are tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook until golden brown and any liquid has evaporated, around 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir well, scraping any flavorful bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Place the beef back into the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the beef is tender and heated through.
  7. Stir in the sour cream gently until fully incorporated, heating through but ensuring it doesn’t boil to avoid curdling.
  8. Enjoy this Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice, garnished with fresh dill or parsley if desired.
