Being of Norwegian descent, I really don't know how this Russian beef stroganoff came into the family. My grandma has made this recipe for 50 years that I know of and it is truly my favorite. Serve over noodles. For a wintertime comfort food this is the best. I actually like it so much that my wife and I will have this for dinner and the next morning we will eat the leftovers with a couple of eggs on the side for brunch. You can't beat it!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1/4-inch wide strips

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 ¼ cups cold beef stock

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 3 tablespoons cooking sherry

Directions

  1. Combine 1 1/2 tablespoons flour with salt and pepper in a bowl. Dredge beef strips in the mixture.

  2. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the dredged beef strips; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cook until onion is barely tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the beef and mushroom mixture to a plate.

  3. Melt remaining butter in the same skillet; reduce heat to low. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour and tomato paste; cook until slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase heat to medium. Add beef stock slowly, stirring constantly, until gravy is thickened and no lumps remain, 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. Return the beef and mushroom mixture to the skillet with the gravy. Stir in sour cream and sherry; heat until bubbling, about 5 minutes.

Recipe Tip

Crème fraîche can be substituted for the sour cream.
