How to Make It

This recipe comes together in a few simple steps.

1. Prep beef

Pound rib-eye steak and slice it into strips. Season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

2. Sear batch 1

Heat 1 Tbsp neutral oil over high heat; sear half the beef for 30 seconds per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.

3. Sear batch 2

Add the remaining oil to the pan and repeat the searing process with the rest of the beef. Once done, set aside.

4. Brown veg

Lower heat and melt the butter in the same pan. Add the sliced onion and sauté for 1 minute, then stir in the mushrooms; cook for about 4 minutes until golden.

5. Make roux

Sprinkle plain flour over the mushrooms and onions; stir for 1 minute to combine.

6. Deglaze

Pour in ½ cup of beef broth while scraping the fond from the bottom of the pan. When smooth, add in the remaining broth and Dijon mustard; let it simmer for 5 minutes.

7. Finish sauce

Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream until silky and well combined.

8. Warm beef

Return the seared beef and any juices to the pan; heat on low for about 1 minute until warmed through.

9. Serve

Ladle the beef stroganoff over buttered noodles or tagliatelle, and finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No; the sour cream may separate.
Reheat: Microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through.

• Ensure the beef is at room temperature before searing for an even cook.
• Utilize a high smoke point oil for better searing.

• Adjust seasoning after adding the sour cream for optimal flavor.

Serving Suggestions
