Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) round steak, cubed and cut into thin strips
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 8 oz (226 g) fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps butter
- all-purpose flour
- 1 (10 ¾ oz / 305 g) can beef broth
- 1 (10 oz / 283 g) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- Paula Deen’s house seasoning, to taste
- cooked egg noodles
Instructions
- Seasoning: Thoroughly coat steak strips with salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic, then lightly dust with all-purpose flour to create an even, thin layer on each piece.
- Searing: In a large cast-iron skillet, heat olive oil and unsalted butter over medium-high temperature. Quickly sear the flour-coated steak strips until golden-brown on both sides, then remove and set aside while preserving pan drippings.
- Vegetable Preparation: Sauté sliced yellow onions and fresh mushrooms in the same skillet, cooking until onions turn translucent and mushrooms caramelize. Sprinkle a light layer of flour over the vegetables to create a subtle thickening base.
- Sauce Development: Reintroduce browned steak strips to the skillet with sautéed vegetables. Add condensed cream of mushroom soup and low-sodium beef broth, mixing thoroughly. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-35 minutes to meld flavors and tenderize the meat.
- Creaming and Finishing: Gently fold in full-fat sour cream, ensuring complete integration without boiling. Warm the mixture carefully to prevent cream separation.
- Serving: Present the creamy beef stroganoff over freshly cooked egg noodles, garnishing with finely chopped fresh parsley for an elegant touch of color and enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Meat Preparation Tip: Coat steak strips evenly with flour for a perfect golden-brown crust that seals in rich, deep flavors.
- Searing Technique: Use cast-iron skillet for optimal heat distribution and maximum flavor development when browning meat.
- Simmering Secret: Low and slow cooking allows meat to become incredibly tender while allowing sauce ingredients to blend seamlessly.
- Cream Integration Caution: Add sour cream at the very end and avoid boiling to prevent unwanted separation and maintain smooth, creamy texture.
