Ingredients You’ll Need

To create this mouthwatering dish, gather up the following:

  • 1 lb beef (sirloin or tenderloin, cut into strips)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, to thicken)
  • Pasta or rice, for serving

Instructions to Satisfy Your Cravings

Now that you’ve got everything ready, let’s get into the how-to!

  1. Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add those beef strips and sear them until they’re browned on all sides. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Once done, remove the beef and set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in your chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté them until the onion turns translucent.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they’re soft, about 5-7 minutes. Oh, that aroma is to die for!
  4. Next, return the beef to the skillet. Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and pepper, and give it a good stir. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
  5. If you like a thicker sauce, now’s the time to sprinkle in the flour. Stir it all together and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Finally, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until everything is creamy and dreamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  7. Serve this delicious beef stroganoff over your choice of pasta or rice, and watch everyone dig in with smiles and satisfied bellies!

And there you have it! A simple yet scrumptious Beef Stroganoff that’s sure to impress. Enjoy every savory bite!
