Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound beef (this can be any type you choose (see note))
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup white mushrooms (sliced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons ground sage
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Brown beef, remove from skillet and set aside. If there is a lot of excess grease, remove it.
  • Add the rest of the butter.
  • Sauté onions and mushrooms until soft and starting to turn golden, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add sage and flour and stir until flour is cooked a bit, about 2 minutes.
  • Add beef broth, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and the beef along with any accumulated juices.
  • Simmer on low heat until thickened, flavors have melded, and beef is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Be sure it's not burning or sticking on the bottom by stirring occasionally.
  • Off heat, stir in cream and sour cream until combined.
  • Serve over egg noodles or rice.

Notes

  • While traditional stroganoff uses beef tenderloin, you can use more affordable cuts like ground, sirloin, flank steak, or ribeye. Just slice the meat thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • The beef chunks will be more tender if you use a nicer cut of meat. I have used beef stew chunks in the past, but they can be tough. Cooking them longer will help. We actually love this recipe with ground beef, just be sure to drain off the excess grease.
  • I also love using leftover beef in this recipe. It's a great way to use leftover steaks, roast, or anything other leftover cut you don't want to waste. Just omit steps 1 and 2 and start by sautéing the onions.
  • Use gluten-free flour or cornstarch to thicken the sauce, and serve it over gluten-free noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a completely gluten-free meal.
