Beef Stroganoff Recipe
This one-skillet beef stroganoff recipe is made with delicious, savory, creamy mushroom sauce. It’s a 30-minute weeknight dinner your family will love.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp grass-fed butter
- 1 pound steak, cut into strips
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups crimini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 1/4 cups beef broth or vegetable broth
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp parsley, fresh and chopped
- 1 tsp soy sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Add the beef strips to the skillet and sear the beef over medium-high heat. Flip the beef strips to sear all sides and saute for about 2 minutes.
- Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Using the grease on the skillet, saute the onion, mushroom, and garlic. Don’t throw away the leftover grease from the beef as it’s packed with flavors. Instead, use it to cook vegetables.
- Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent.
- Return the beef to the skillet and season it with salt and pepper.
- Add the beef broth and heavy cream and turn the heat down to medium-low heat. If you are using bay leaves and other herbs, add them in this step. Add the soy sauce too if you are using it.
- Cover the skillet and let it simmer on medium-low heat until the beef becomes tender – about 15 minutes. If you don’t have a lid, simmer on low heat to avoid losing too much liquid too fast. Having a lid helps keep the moisture and liquid you need for a creamy sauce.
- Once the beef is tender, remove the lid and reduce the sauce to your desired thickness. If need to thin it more, add in a bit of broth and adjust it with additional heavy cream.
- Stir in the sour cream and adjust the taste with salt and pepper. Serve with your choice of a side dish and garnish it with chopped parsley.
