Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients

  • 250 g Cremini Mushrooms
  • 300 g Beef Sirloin
  • 1.75 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 pcs Yellow Onion
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 pcs Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 180 ml Beef Stock
  • 120 ml Sour Cream
  • 2 tbsp Dill
  • 1 tbsp Parsley

Method

  1. Thinly slice {beef_sirloin}, then pat it dry and season all over with {kosher_salt} and {black_pepper} so it sears instead of steams.
  2. Slice {cremini_mushrooms} and {yellow_onion}, mince {garlic}, and chop {dill} and {parsley} so the sauce comes together quickly once the pan is hot.
  3. Heat a large skillet over high heat, melt some {butter}, then sear {beef_sirloin} in a single layer in batches for deep browning, seasoning lightly with more {kosher_salt} as it hits the pan. Transfer to a plate while still slightly under medium so it stays tender.
  4. Lower to medium heat in the same skillet, add the remaining {butter}, then sauté {yellow_onion} with a pinch of {kosher_salt} for several minutes until softened and translucent. Add {cremini_mushrooms} and cook until their moisture evaporates and the pan looks glossy, then add {garlic} and bloom briefly until fragrant.
  5. Stir {dijon_mustard} into the skillet, then add {beef_stock} and scrape up the fond. Simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced and concentrated, then lower the heat and stir in {sour_cream} with {black_pepper} so the sauce stays smooth and glossy.
  6. Return {beef_sirloin} and any resting juices to the skillet over low heat and warm gently just until the beef is rosy and the sauce coats it. Fold in most of the {dill} and taste, adjusting with {kosher_salt} and {black_pepper} for a balanced finish.
  7. Spoon the stroganoff onto warm plates and finish with the remaining {dill} and the {parsley} for fresh contrast against the rich sauce.
