Chef John's Classic Beef Stroganoff

Chef John's Classic Beef Stroganoff

This classic beef stroganoff recipe is a fairly lean version, as most recipes call for more cream. This is something you can easily adjust to your tastes. I like a little thicker version, with just enough sauce to coat the meat. Serve over buttered noodles.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 1 hr 30 mins
Total Time: 1 hr 45 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sirloin tip roast, cut into 1/2-inch thick strips

  • ½ medium onion, sliced or diced

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup white wine

  • 2 cups beef broth, divided

  • ¾ cup creme fraiche

  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Season beef generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until nearly smoking. Stir in beef; cook, stirring constantly, for 6 to 7 minutes, until liquid evaporates and meat browns.

  4. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in flour; cook for 1 to 2 minutes until incorporated. Stir in wine and 1 cup of broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes.
