Keywords: Meat, Under 60 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef tenderloin
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup butter
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup rice or hot noodles
• Fresh dill for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef: Begin by cutting the beef tenderloin diagonally into very thin slices. This helps to ensure that the meat cooks quickly and remains tender.

2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent. Next, add the mushrooms (if using) and sauté until they are tender and lightly browned. Once done, remove the onion and mushroom mixture from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Brown the Meat: In the same skillet, add a bit more butter if needed and heat over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices to the skillet and brown them lightly on both sides. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, so you might need to do this in batches.

4. Add Flavorings: Set aside 1/3 cup of the beef consomme or broth. To the skillet with the browned meat, stir in the remaining consomme, tomato sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well to combine.

5. Simmer: Cover the skillet and allow the mixture to simmer gently for 15 minutes. This step helps to meld the flavors and tenderize the beef.

6. Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, blend the reserved 1/3 cup of consomme with the flour until smooth. Stir this mixture into the skillet to thicken the sauce. Add the sautéed mushrooms and onions back into the skillet.

7. Cook the Sauce: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Once the sauce has thickened, let it boil for 1 minute.

8. Finish with Sour Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Heat through, but do not let it boil after adding the sour cream to avoid curdling.

9. Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff over hot rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh dill for a touch of flavor and color.

Enjoy this classic beef stroganoff with your family, knowing you’re serving a dish that’s not only delicious but also steeped in culinary tradition. This recipe brings together the rich flavors of beef and creamy sauce in a way that has delighted taste buds for decades. 🍽️✨
