Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef, trimmed of fat and thinly sliced diagonally
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp butter or margarine (if needed)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Beef: Begin by trimming any excess fat from the beef and set aside for later use. Then, slice the beef diagonally into very thin strips, ensuring they are evenly sized for quick and even cooking.
-
Heat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the reserved beef fat. If the beef is very lean, you may need to add a tablespoon of butter or margarine to ensure there’s enough fat for browning.
-
Brown Beef: Once the fat is melted and the skillet is hot, add the sliced beef to the skillet. Brown the beef strips, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked through and nicely browned on all sides.
-
Add Mushrooms and Water: To the skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and 2/3 cup of water. Stir everything together to combine, allowing the mushrooms to cook and the flavors to meld.
-
Incorporate Soup Mix: Stir in the condensed cream of mushroom soup, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the skillet. Heat the mixture until it begins to boil, allowing the flavors to come together.
-
Prepare Sour Cream Mixture: In a separate bowl, blend together the sour cream and all-purpose flour until smooth and well combined. This mixture will help thicken the sauce and add richness to the dish.
-
Thicken Sauce: Once the mixture in the skillet is boiling, slowly pour in the sour cream mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook and stir the mixture until it thickens to your desired consistency. The sauce will be creamy and luxurious, coating the beef and mushrooms beautifully.
-
Serve: Your Easy 15-Minute Beef Stroganoff is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it hot over a bed of rice or noodles, garnished with freshly chopped parsley or a dollop of additional sour cream if desired.
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider incorporating a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a sprinkle of paprika into the sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can adjust the amount of flour in the sour cream mixture to achieve your desired consistency.
- This recipe is versatile and can be customized to suit your taste preferences. Feel free to add extra vegetables like onions or bell peppers for added texture and flavor.
