Ingredients
  

For the Stroganoff:
  • 600 g / 1.2 lb rib eye steak see my notes on best cuts!
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 300 g / 10 oz mushrooms sliced (keep them chunky!)
  • 40 g / 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth reduced sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 150 ml / 2/3 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving:
  • 250-300 g / 8-10 oz pasta of choice
  • Fresh chopped chives optional but adds such a lovely touch!

Method
 

Prep Your Beef:
  1. Flatten those steaks to about 3/4cm / 1/3" thick using your fist or a mallet
  2. Slice into thin strips (about 5mm / 1/5" thick)
  3. Season with just a pinch of salt and pepper
The Famous 30-Second Sear:
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in your large skillet until smoking hot
  2. Working in batches (don't crowd!), quickly spread half the beef strips
  3. Let them sear untouched for 30 seconds
  4. Quick flip and another 30 seconds
  5. Remove to a plate (yes, even with pink spots!)
  6. Repeat with remaining oil and beef
Create That Amazing Sauce:
  1. Lower heat to medium-high and add your butter
  2. Once melted, in go the onions for 1 minute
  3. Add mushrooms and cook until golden
Pro Tip: Scrape up all those golden bits from the pan - that's where the magic lives!
    Make it Creamy:
    1. Sprinkle in flour and cook for 1 minute
    2. Pour in half the broth while stirring
    3. Add remaining broth once incorporated
    4. Stir in sour cream and mustard
    5. Don't worry if it looks split - it'll come together beautifully!
    Finish with Love:
    1. Let simmer until thickness matches pouring cream (3-5 minutes)
    2. Season to taste
    3. Add beef back in with any plate juices
    4. Just 1 minute more, then off the heat!
