Scale
Beef
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Sauce
- 4 ounces butter
- 4 green onions, sliced (white parts only)
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed beef broth
- 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
- 1 (6 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup white wine
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Remove any fat and gristle from the chuck roast, then cut the meat into strips about ½-inch thick and 2-inches long. Season the strips with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Brown the beef: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef strips and brown them quickly, ensuring they develop a nice sear without overcooking.
- Cook the onions: Push the browned beef to one side of the skillet. Add the sliced white parts of green onions to the pan and cook, stirring frequently for 3 to 5 minutes, then push them to the side alongside the beef.
- Make the sauce base: Stir the all-purpose flour into the empty side of the skillet with the pan juices. Pour in the condensed beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the prepared mustard for a tangy depth of flavor.
- Simmer until tender: Cover the skillet and let the beef and sauce simmer gently for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and flavorful.
- Add finishing touches: Five minutes before serving, stir in the drained sliced mushrooms, sour cream, and white wine. Heat through gently but do not boil. Season with additional salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff hot over cooked noodles for a classic presentation and enjoy a rich and comforting meal.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh sautéed mushrooms in place of canned mushrooms for a fresher flavor and texture.
- If using sirloin or tenderloin strips instead of chuck roast, reduce the simmering time to 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Choose a dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc to complement the sauce or add extra beef broth to keep the dish family-friendly without alcohol.
- Be sure not to boil the sour cream once added to prevent curdling; just heat gently through.
