ingredients

1 1/4 pound filet mignon or filet of beef, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 tablespoon shallots or green onions, minced
1 medium onions, to taste, optional, sliced
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup sweet sherry
1 can beef broth
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream

directions

Slice meat thin, about 2"x2" (it is easiest to slice real thin by partially freezing the meat first). Be sure all fat is trimmed off.

Heat 1 Tbsp. of butter and 1/2 Tbsp. oil in a large frying pan. Saute the mushrooms over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Add the onions and/or shallots, saute 2 minutes more; remove ALL from skillet.

Heat remaining butter and oil, until it bubbles, then add the meat and brown. Remove the browned meat from the pan.

Put the flour in the pan and mix in with the oil in the pan until well blended. Gradually add the sherry and the beef broth, being sure the mixture is smooth. Cook over high heat and turn to medium-high and cook down 1/2.

Add meat and season (to taste) and add the mushrooms/onions. Cook over medium-low heat about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Just before serving stir in sour cream. DO NOT ALLOW TO COME TO A BOIL; it will curdle. Serve over noodles.

cook's notes

You can use beer in place of sweet sherry if you don't have any.

    I didn't use filet mignon because that was just to expensive. I did get some beef tenderloin on sale so I used that. This was one of the best stroganoffs I've ever had, probably because it was made traditionally and didn't contain any mixes or salty soups. It is totally restaurant quality.

    Okay, great reviews and all but what size can of beef broth do I use???

    • CDKitchen Staff Reply:

      Whenever a recipe simply states something like "1 can", assume it is the most common size of that can. In this case, beef broth most commonly is found in 14-15 oz cans.

    This was a really amazing recipe. Not difficult at all and it tasted so good. I made it for the first time last night and everyone in my family went back for seconds. And that is a RARE occurance in my family.

    Does anyone know if you could cook this in a crockpot and whether you would make any changes if you did? It sounds delicious.

    I MADE THIS FOR A FATHERS DAY DINNER WITH A LARGE GROUP. I USED LONDON BROIL STEAK TO KEEP THE COST DOWN. THE ONLY CHANGE I MADE WAS ADDING THE MEAT TO THE LIQ IN A LARGE PAN TO KEEP WARM. SO WHEN THE LAST STEP WAS DONE IT WAS STRIGHT TO THE TABLE. I USED BEER AS SUGGESTED AND IT TURNED OUT GREAT. IN FACT PEOPLE WENT BACK OF MORE AND LOVED IT. I MADE THE RECIPE FOR 16 PEOPLE AND USED 3 LARGE BAGS OF NOODLES. I AGREE WITH ALL THE COMMENTS, THIS IS A KEEPER AND I WILL USE IT MANY TIMES. AGAIN THANKS TO THE COOK!!

    This is a very solid, easy to prepare recipe. The result really spoke to my need for the melded flavors of Stroganoff and my husband thought it was truly exceptional (granted, I haven't cooked a real recipe in awhile :-). For my version, I added extra mushrooms and a clove of garlic with the onions.The key to this recipe, in my opinion, is the reduction. Patience is your friend. I am a cornstarch slurry kind of person, so I was nervous over the flour sauce. No need to worry -- reduce to at least 1/2, or more nearly to 1/4 of the original liquid and you are golden, so to speak.Many thanks to the master of this recipe!! I will make this many times in the years to come.

    This was so easy and so delicious! Made it for a party and it was a hit. I used cognac b/c I didn't have Sherry and added a pinch of sugar. This is a keeper.

    As a chef, one of the things we try to ensure we have are the best/freshest ingredients. So, with that said, I took this recipe and used what I thought everyone at home could use, beef stock readily available rather than homemade. I used Wolfgang Puck's new beef stock available in stores and also filet mignon, there's nothing better for a dish like this. Additionally, and this is preference, I used the widest/fatest noodles I could find. I also omitted the sherry as I'm not fond of that taste. Lastly, it wasn't thick enough so I made a cornstarch slurry, which unfortunately (at that time) made it a little too much like a gravy rather than a sauce. I think thinned it out with a little whole milk. Now, I don't mind saying, was the best stroganaff I've ever had. Was wonderful.--tyler

    I made this recipe tonight, and after many, many attempts at stroganoff, this is the first and the best I have ever made. The husband finally said this is the one.

    I love beef stroganoff and adapted this recipe for leftover venison roast with very tasty results. Because I didn't have all the ingredients on hand, I substituted dried chives for the green onion, beer for the sherry, and had to leave out the mushrooms. Still yummy.

FAQs

What is stroganoff sauce made of? ›

Cooking: Stack beef Sirloin Tip Steaks; cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1-inch wide strips. Toss with garlic.

How to add more flavor to beef stroganoff? ›

Quartered mushrooms and a combination of pearl onions and shallots give the finished dish a more interesting texture and flavor. Adding gelatin to the chicken stock gives it more body, letting the sauce come together more tightly to coat the meat and noodles.

What is the best cut of steak that isn't chewy? ›

Top sirloin

Despite being boneless, this cut, which comes from the cow's top rear end, is typically far more soft and tasty. It rarely becomes extremely chewy and rubbery when cooked properly. Even though it is less expensive than some of the more expensive steaks, this steak is still excellent.

What type of steak does Ruth Chris use? ›

The Sizzling Steaks

What can I use in stroganoff instead of Worcestershire sauce? ›

We always recommend sticking with the original recipe, as that will produce the best results. However, soy sauce is a 1:1 substitute, and the closest and most recommended substitute for Worcestershire sauce.

Can you add sour cream to stroganoff without curdling? ›

Sour cream can curdle if added directly to hot liquid. To prevent curdling, temper the sour cream by stirring a little of the hot liquid into it and then adding the warmed sour cream mixture to the pan. Buttered egg noodles (see below for details of our tasting) are the classic accompaniment to this recipe.

What is the best substitute for sour cream in stroganoff? ›

Greek yogurt is a healthy alternative to the traditionally used sour cream in beef stroganoff recipes, so you can be confident that your family is getting a satisfying, healthy meal. Fresh dill and paprika will provide a sweet, slightly smoky garnish to top off the dish.

How do you tenderize steak with sour cream? ›

Some cooks swear by using dairy to tenderize, such as milk, yogurt, or sour cream, as it tenderizes without making the meat too soft. You can add whatever flavors you want to the dairy, and soak it for several hours.

Why is my beef stroganoff tough? ›

Insert an instant-read thermometer into a few random cubes at the end of the cooking time to make sure that they are at least 145 degrees F, which is medium-rare. Do not cook them over 180 degrees or they will become tough.

What thickens stroganoff? ›

Cornstarch: Cornstarch is an ingredient that comes in handy if you want your sauce a little thicker. Sour cream: Full-fat sour cream is what we used, but feel free to substitute a lower-fat sour cream if you choose. However, some picky eaters will be able to tell the difference if you use a lower-fat sour cream!

How to spice up stroganoff? ›

And if you want to make it spicy, you can either use the Mexican flavors (ancho & poblano peppers), or use horseradish. To use so many different things together seems like a “kitchen sink” approach. I would cut down the horseradish to about 2/3 of the original amount.
