Recipe: Classic Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup (240ml) beef broth
• 1 cup (240ml) sour cream
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp flour (optional, for thickening)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Cooked egg noodles or rice (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:
   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices in batches, searing them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:
   In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. Make the Sauce:
   Pour the beef broth into the pan, stirring to deglaze the pan and release all the flavorful bits. Add the Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.

4. Add the Sour Cream:
   Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Return the beef to the pan and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the beef is tender and cooked through.

5. Serve:
   Serve the Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.

Enjoy!
