Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
Here’s your stuff-to-get-list:
- 1 lb beef strips
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp flour
- Butter for cooking
- Salt and Pepper to taste
And now, your tools:
- A heavy-bottomed pot
- A wooden spoon
- A sharp knife
Now, the sour cream is key here. It balances out the rich flavors of the beef and mushrooms, and the broth, adding a tangy creamy twist. And those onions, garlic, and beef broth are what infuse this dish with its savoury heartiness. As for substitutions, you could use non-dairy cream for a dairy-free version, and chicken broth could stand in for beef broth.
How To Make Meaty, Creamy, Almost Fancy Beef Stroganoff Recipe
1. First things first, grab your pot and melt some butter over medium heat. Once melted, toss in the onions and garlic. Cook ’em for a bit until they become soft and fragrant.
2. In goes the beef. Make sure to cook until brown, stir it regularly so it cooks evenly.
3. Next, scatter the flour over the beef and stir until the beef is well coated. This’ll help your sauce get nice and thick later.
4. Time to add in the mushrooms and beef broth. Once added, mix well and bring that hearty concoction to a boil.
5. Lower the heat and let it simmer until the broth has reduced a bit, and your beef is cooked through.
6. To finish, take the pot off the heat and stir in the sour cream. And voila!
