Best Homemade Beef Stroganoff Recipe-Ingredients

For four servings, we will need two good slices of dry-aged ribeye steak of the best quality because this is the most important secret for the success of the recipe. Choose beef meat for steak, whether it's ribeye, sirloin or rump steak, because this is the only way to reduce the cooking time; otherwise, you will need long cooking of the meat.

I also used a medium-sized onion, a clove of garlic, 300 grams of mushrooms, 280 ml of single cream and 500 ml of beef stock.

Preparing the Ingredients

As I told you in other posts, I like to prepare all the ingredients first and only then start cooking. I will do so now. First, I prepare the meat; for this, I will slice the ribeye steak into strips, transversely along the length of the fibres, so the strips of meat will melt in your mouth.

I also cleaned the mushrooms from the skin, cut them in half and then sliced them into thin slices, so they will cook faster.

The ingredients are ready; let's start cooking!

How to Make the Best Homemade Beef Stroganoff Recipe?

Pre-Cook the Meat

We are preparing a cooking pot, a soup pot or a larger pan; I used my favourite Dutch oven pot in which I heated four tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. When the oil is very hot, it starts to smoke, and we put the strips of meat in the pot to fry. It is preferable not to fry all the meat at once but in two portions so as not to cool the oil and the meat to get a crust very quickly.

It is very IMPORTANT not to fry the meat strips for more than a minute, turning them halfway through or when they have acquired a golden crust. After a minute, we take them out in a bowl and leave them there for a while.

Make a Mushroom Stew

In the same pot without cleaning it, melt a tablespoon of unsalted butter and sauté the chopped onion and chopped garlic.

I seasoned it with a teaspoon of sea salt and left it to sauté for a minute, stirring, after which I added the sliced mushrooms.

Season with a teaspoon of freshly ground pepper and let it simmer for about five minutes under the lid. The mushrooms will release their water content, so the liquid is not needed.

Sprinkle two tablespoons of wheat flour on top, which will bind our preparation and thicken it a little. Stir and let it one minute to fry.

We will make this beef stroganoff more creamy with this; we slowly pour the single cream, mixing it with a wooden spoon until it is completely incorporated. Let it simmer for another five minutes, when the juice thickens.
