If you're craving something comforting yet classic, Heritage Beef Stroganoff is calling your name. This dish beautifully combines tender beef with a creamy sauce, making it a timeless favorite. Perfect for a cozy night in or a special family dinner.
Beef sirloin is the star of this dish, offering a tender bite when cooked properly. The all-purpose flour helps to create a light crust on the beef and thickens the sauce slightly. Unsalted butter provides a rich base for sautéing. A large onion adds sweetness and depth, while mushrooms bring an earthy flavor that complements the beef. Beef broth is key for a savory, rich sauce. The sour cream adds tanginess and creaminess, while tomato paste and Dijon mustard offer a subtle tang and complexity. Finally, fresh parsley brightens the dish just before serving.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette. A side of crusty bread is perfect for soaking up that delicious sauce, and a glass of red wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon, complements the meal beautifully.
First, coat the beef strips with a mix of flour, salt, and pepper. This will give them a nice crust and add flavor. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, toss in the sliced onion and sauté until it turns translucent and releases its sweetness.
Next, add the mushrooms to the skillet. Let them cook until they turn golden brown, which should take about 5 minutes. Once the onion and mushrooms are ready, remove them from the skillet and set them aside for later.
Increase the heat to high and add the beef strips to the skillet. Brown them on both sides to lock in the juices. This should only take a couple of minutes per side. Once browned, reduce the heat back to medium and return the onion and mushrooms to the skillet.
Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, and Dijon mustard. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. Once thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat and gently stir in the sour cream. This will create that signature creamy sauce.
Serve the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, making sure to spoon plenty of the sauce over each serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
