Beef Stroganoff, Recipe

To cook authentic beef stroganoff, follow these steps:

Ingredients:

1 lb (500g) beef sirloin, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
1 cup beef broth
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Egg noodles or rice (for serving)

Instructions:

In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef strips to the pan. Cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender.
Return the beef to the pan with the mushrooms and add the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the Dijon mustard and sour cream. Continue to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the beef stroganoff over egg noodles or rice and garnish with fresh parsley.
