How to Make Annie's Fabulous Beef Stroganoff

  1. **Prepare the Beef:** Remove any excess fat from the steak and slice into 1/8-inch thick strips. Lightly dredge the beef strips in 1/4 cup of flour, then season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. **Sauté Vegetables:** Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large sliced onion and 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. **Cook the Beef:** Add the prepared beef strips to the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tbsp of butter, if needed. Increase the heat to high and stir constantly for 3-5 minutes, until the beef is browned and sealed.
  4. **Set Aside:** Remove the cooked beef and vegetables from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
  5. **Make the Sauce:** Reserve 2 tbsp of the drippings from the skillet. In the same skillet, whisk together the reserved drippings and 1 tbsp of flour until smooth.
  6. **Thicken the Sauce:** Gradually whisk in 1 cup of beef consommé until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
  7. **Incorporate Sour Cream:** Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to boil the sauce, as this will curdle the sour cream.
  8. **Add Flavor:** Stir in 1 tsp of paprika and 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce.
  9. **Combine and Serve:** Just before serving, add the cooked beef and vegetables back to the skillet. Heat through gently, ensuring the sauce is well combined. Serve immediately over your choice of noodles or rice.
