This quick, easy and delicious Beef Stroganoff is an American twist on a classic Russian dish. Perfect for a weeknight meal with simple preparation and limited ingredients that most have around the pantry.
Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish known for its rich, creamy sauce and tender strips of beef. Traditionally made with sautéed beef, mushrooms, onions, and a tangy sour cream sauce, it’s served over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. The dish strikes a perfect balance between savory, creamy, and slightly tangy flavors, with the mushrooms adding a deep earthiness and the sour cream bringing a velvety texture.
Whether made in a skillet for a quick weeknight meal or simmered slowly for deeper flavor, beef stroganoff is hearty, comforting, and elegant—perfect for both family dinners and special occasions.

Beef Stroganoff
Slice the sirloin or filet steaks into 1/4" strips. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and then dust in flour.
In a large heavy skillet, or cast iron Dutch Oven, add the olive oil and utter and heat until butter is melted. Working in batches, being careful not to over-crowd the skillet, quickly brown the beef on both sides and remove to a plate to rest.
Working in the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms to the pan drippings. Sauté until the onions are just crisp-tender and slightly translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté an additional 1 minute. Sprinkle the additional Tablespoon of flour, stir until combined, and then return the steak strips to the skillet.
Add the beef broth and mushroom soup, and combine while scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Continue to sauté until the steak strips reach desired doneness, approximately 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in the sour cream in the last 1 minute of cooking time.
Serve immediately over egg noodles or mashed potatoes, and garnish with a pinch of chopped parsley.
