Recipe: Quick & Easy Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preparing the Beef and Vegetables:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper.
3. Add the beef to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Vegetables:

2. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and have released their juices, about 5 minutes.

Making the Sauce:

1. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
2. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
3. Add the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, mixing well.
4. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.

Combining Everything:

1. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
2. Return the cooked beef to the skillet, mixing to coat the beef with the sauce. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Serving:

1. Serve the beef stroganoff over a bed of cooked egg noodles.
