Cook Time: 15 minutes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: Varies
Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 1/2 cup mushrooms
- 1 cup milk
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 8 ounces steak, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
-
Brown the Meat: Begin by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced steak strips and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Add Mushrooms and Sauce: Once the meat is browned, add in the sliced mushrooms, milk, minced garlic, and soup mix to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
-
Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth. This will thicken the sauce and give it a creamy texture. Once combined, add the sour cream mixture to the skillet, stirring continuously to incorporate it into the dish.
-
Season to Perfection: Season the stroganoff with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preferences, adding more or less as desired. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the dish.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the stroganoff is heated through and the sauce has thickened to your liking, it’s ready to serve. Spoon the creamy steak mixture over cooked egg noodles or baked potatoes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness, if desired.
