This is a fun and pretty fast dish to whip up. I have made it in an Instant pot if using a less tender cut of steak. My grandkids like it better with hamburger, and it tastes better than Hamburger Helper and I can actually make it Gluten Free and it is without all the weird ingredients.
Beef Stroganoff
Serves 6
2 Pounds Steak (Flank steak or sirloin)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 small White Onion, thinly sliced.
8 ounces sliced Mushrooms
1 Tablespoon minced Garlic
½ cup Wine (red or white, your choice)
or ½ Cup Chicken Broth plus 1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
1 ½ Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Better than Beef Base
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce or Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoon all-purpose Flour or 1 ½ Tablespoons cornstarch
¼ Cup Dairy Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
½ teaspoon Black Pepper
1-pound uncooked Wide Egg Noodles
Slice the steak into thin strips, make sure you cut across the grain. In a large sauté pan heat the oil and the butter over medium high heat. Add the steak in a single layer, season with salt and pepper. Let it cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes to sear the meat. Flip the steak and cook on the other side until browned another 3 minutes. Remove the steak and transfer to a bowl and set aside.
To the same pan add the onions and sauté for about 3 minutes. You may need to add a bit more oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic and sauté until the mushrooms are cooked and onions are soft.
Add the wine and cook and scrape the brown bites off the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture cook down for 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, add the water, beef base, Worcestershire sauce, and flour. Stir until smooth. Add to the mushroom mixture and simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
Stir in the meat mixture simmer until heated and then add sour cream and black pepper. Simmer until heated. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Cook the noodles accounting to the directions on package. Serve the steak mixture over the cooked noodles.
Can also substitute ground beef for the steak.
To make Gluten Free check your beef base and use cornstarch, check the Worcestershire sauce. Use Gluten Free Noodles also.
To make Dairy Free Use Dairy Free sour cream and use a dairy free brand of beef base.
