Ingredients:
– 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon tomato paste
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Cooked egg noodles or rice (for serving)
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Beef:**
– In a bowl, season the thinly sliced beef with salt and pepper.
– Sprinkle the flour over the beef and toss to coat evenly.
2. **Cook the Beef:**
– In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
– Add the beef slices in batches and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. **Saute the Vegetables:**
– In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
– Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until they release their juices and start to brown.
4. **Make the Sauce:**
– Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
– Pour in the beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
5. **Simmer and Finish:**
– Return the cooked beef slices to the skillet and stir to coat them in the sauce.
– Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
– Stir in the sour cream until well combined. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, until heated through.
6. **Serve:**
– Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
– Serve the Russian Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice.
