The method
Step by step
- 1
Toss the beef strips with the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until evenly coated.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the beef is dry before coating to help the flour adhere better.
- 2
Melt half of the butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
About 1 min
- 3
Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
About 8 min
Cook’s note: Do not overcrowd the pan; this ensures a good sear rather than steaming the beef.
- 4
Add the remaining butter to the skillet, then add the yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
About 4 min
- 5
Stir in the cremini mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
About 6 min
- 6
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- 7
Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: This deglazing step adds a lot of flavor to the sauce.
- 8
Stir in the dijon mustard and worcestershire sauce, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
About 2 min
- 9
Return the beef to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
About 6 min
- 10
Remove the skillet from the heat and gradually stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Adding sour cream off the heat prevents it from curdling.
- 11
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
About 1 min
- 12
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Cook’s note: Beef Stroganoff is traditionally served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

Keep it good

Gently reheat on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water if the sauce is too thick. Avoid boiling to prevent the sour cream from separating.
