Beef Stroganoff Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Beef Stroganoff Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by generously seasoning your beef strips with salt and pepper, giving them a flavorful kick right from the beginning.

2. Step 2

   In a large skillet, heat up some vegetable oil over high heat until it’s almost smoking—this is the perfect temperature to get that beautiful sear on your meat.

3. Step 3

   Add the seasoned beef to the skillet and cook it, stirring constantly, for about 6 to 7 minutes.

4. Step 4

   You’ll know it’s ready when the liquid has evaporated and the beef is nicely browned.

5. Step 5

   Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.

6. Step 6

   In the same skillet, toss in sliced mushrooms, onions, and a bit of butter.

7. Step 7

   Cook these over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and fragrant.

8. Step 8

   This step adds a wonderful depth of flavor to your dish.

9. Step 9

   Next, add minced garlic to the skillet and stir it for about 30 seconds until it becomes aromatic.

10. Step 10

    Then, sprinkle in some flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, mixing it well to create a smooth base for your sauce.

11. Step 11

    Now it’s time to pour in the white wine and 1 cup of beef broth.

12. Step 12

    As you do this, be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to release those delicious browned bits—this is where a lot of the flavor lives! Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens beautifully.

13. Step 13

    Now, it’s time to bring the beef back into the mix.

14. Step 14

    Return the browned beef to the skillet and stir in the remaining cup of beef broth.

15. Step 15

    Bring everything back to a simmer, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low.

16. Step 16

    Let it cook for about an hour, stirring every 20 minutes.

17. Step 17

    This slow cooking process will make the beef incredibly tender and allow the flavors to meld together perfectly.

18. Step 18

    After an hour, stir in some crème fraîche and chopped chives for a creamy finish and a pop of color.

19. Step 19

    Taste your dish and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt and pepper if needed.

20. Step 20

    Serve this delightful beef dish hot, ideally over a bed of egg noodles or rice, and watch as everyone gathers around the table to enjoy a comforting meal.
