Ingredients

  • 1.5-2 lbs beef stew meat
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups mushrooms of your choice sliced {I used Shiitakes and brown mushrooms}
  • 2 cups beef broth {or 2 cups water + beef bouillon}
  • 3-4 tablespoon unsalted butter divided
  • 1-2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • salt pepper, and garlic powder, as needed

Instructions

  • In a large nonstick pot, combine the olive oil and unsalted butter. Turn the heat on medium-high, and let the butter melt.
  • Toss the meat with the flour, making sure to shake off the excess.
  • Once the butter has melted, add in your beef cubes, making sure not to crowd the pan.
  • Let the meat cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then flip and brown the other side.
  • Let cook for a few minutes more, then add in the sliced onion. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic, and let cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Add in the mushrooms, season more if necessary, and saute for several minutes until the veggies have softened. Pour in the beef broth.
  • Add in the Dijon mustard, mix everything together, and add more seasonings if needed.
  • Cover, and cook over very low heat for 2-3 hours, until meat is very tender and falls apart.
  • Shortly before serving, stir in the sour cream... it will make your stroganoff extra creamy! Serve the beef stroganoff over plain noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
  • *NOTE: if you want to make this in the slow-cooker, just add everything to the crockpot at step 8 instead of leaving it on the stove. Cook on high for 4-5 hrs, low for 8-10 hrs *
