Ingredients
Beef Stroganoff
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 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
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup white wine (dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc recommended)
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Remove any fat and gristle from the chuck roast and cut into strips approximately ½-inch thick by 2-inches long. Season the beef strips with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Brown the Beef: Melt 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 Onions: Push the browned beef to one side of the skillet. Add the sliced white parts of the green onions to the empty side and cook, stirring occasionally for 3 to 5 minutes until softened. Then, push the onions to the side with the beef.
- Make the Sauce Base: Stir the flour into the pan juices in the empty side of the skillet, mixing well to form a roux. Slowly pour in the condensed beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer the Beef: Reduce the heat to low, stir in the prepared mustard, then cover the skillet and let it simmer until the beef is tender, approximately 1 hour.
- Finish the Stroganoff: Five minutes before serving, stir in the drained mushrooms, sour cream, and white wine. Heat through gently, then season with additional salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff hot over cooked noodles or rice for a comforting meal.
Notes
- For a fresher taste, substitute canned mushrooms with fresh sautéed mushrooms.
- If using leaner cuts such as sirloin or tenderloin strips instead of chuck roast, reduce the simmering time to 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc to balance flavors or increase broth quantity for a more family-friendly, non-alcoholic option.
