Quick Beef Stroganoff Recipe (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Beef

01 - 600g scotch fillet steak (ribeye), flattened to 0.75cm thickness
02 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
03 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ For the Sauce

04 - 1 large onion, sliced
05 - 300g mushrooms, thickly sliced
06 - 40g butter
07 - 2 tablespoons plain flour
08 - 500ml beef broth, preferably reduced-salt
09 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
10 - 150ml sour cream

→ For Serving

11 - 250-300g pasta or egg noodles
12 - Fresh chopped chives for garnish (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Flatten the steak to 0.75cm thickness, then slice into thin strips about 0.5cm wide. Season well with salt and pepper.
02 - Heat half the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook beef in two batches, searing for 30 seconds each side until browned but still pink inside. Set aside on a plate.
03 - Reduce heat to medium-high. Melt butter, add onions and cook for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook until golden, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
04 - Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook for 1 minute. Gradually stir in beef broth until smooth. Add sour cream and Dijon mustard. Simmer until sauce thickens to cream consistency, about 3-5 minutes.
05 - Return beef and its juices to the pan. Simmer for 1 minute. Serve hot over pasta or noodles, garnished with chives if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Use soft beef cuts like scotch fillet or tenderloin for best results
02 - Cook beef in small batches to ensure proper browning
03 - Add sour cream on low heat to prevent curdling
