Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (907 g) beef chuck roast
- 4 oz (113 g) butter
- 4 tbsps all-purpose flour
- 1 (10.5 oz/298 g) can condensed beef broth
- 1 (6 oz/170 g) can sliced mushrooms, drained
- 4 green onions, sliced (white parts only)
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) sour cream
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) white wine
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp prepared mustard
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Trim chuck roast, cutting into uniform 2-inch strips, then season thoroughly with salt and black pepper.
- Browning Stage: Melt butter in skillet over medium-low heat, searing meat strips until caramelized and developing deep golden exterior. Remove meat and set aside.
- Aromatics Development: Sauté chopped onions in same skillet until translucent, then reintroduce browned meat. Create roux by sprinkling flour into pan drippings, whisking until smooth.
- Liquid Integration: Pour beef broth gradually, stirring continuously to prevent lumping. Incorporate Dijon mustard, cover, and reduce heat to low.
- Slow Cooking Process: Simmer stroganoff for approximately one hour, allowing meat to become incredibly tender and sauce to thicken naturally.
- Final Enhancement: Add sliced mushrooms, white wine, and sour cream during last 5 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Serving Presentation: Transfer stroganoff over warm egg noodles, ensuring sauce coats meat evenly. Optionally garnish with fresh chopped parsley for vibrant color and herbal note.
Notes
- Meat Selection Matters: Choose chuck roast with minimal fat for tender, flavorful results that melt in your mouth during slow cooking.
- Searing Technique: Brown meat at medium-low heat to develop deep caramelization without burning, creating complex flavor foundations for the sauce.
- Roux Precision: Whisk flour carefully into meat drippings to prevent lumps, ensuring a silky-smooth sauce that coats each beef strip perfectly.
- Wine Enhancement: Add white wine during final cooking stages to elevate overall dish complexity and introduce subtle acidic undertones that complement the rich, creamy sauce.
