Beef Stroganoff is comfort food at its finest. This easy-to-prepare dish is filled with tender chunks of beef, soft mushrooms, and a savory cream sauce. Served over noodles or mixed all together, this classic meal will hit the spot any day of the week.

Ingredients
2 pounds beef filet or flank
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
1 onion, minced
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups beef stock or bouillon
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
Instructions
  1. Cut the beef into little slivers about 1 inch long, 1/2 inch wide, and 1/4 inch thick. Brown in 2 tablespoons butter for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and keep hot. 
  2. Saute the minced onion for about 2 minutes and add to the browned meat.
  3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and saute the mushrooms. Remove the mushrooms and place with the beef. 
  4. Add the flour to the pan; brown for 3 minutes. Add to the pan the stock, paprika, salt and pepper. 
  5. When the sauce has thickened, add the sour cream. Heat through gently. Pour the sauce over the meat, onions, and mushrooms and sprinkle with additional paprika. Serve with noodles.

I like to add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to add a little zip. Thank you for the recipe!

Is there an substitute for the mushrooms? I have two people in my family that are allergic.

I was so happy to see this recipe. The majority that you see nowadays use chunks of beef and cook for up to an hour or more. To me that's just beef stew with a sour cream sauce. This is how it should be prepared. Partially freeze the steak ahead of time so that you can make very thin slices and it's on the table in less than 20 minutes. So good! Thank you.
