How to Make Beef Stroganoff In The Mellinkoff Manner

  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Season 1 lb of NY strip or sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch strips) generously with salt and pepper. Sear the beef for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
  2. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in 1 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup dry sherry (optional), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste). Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Add the seared beef back to the skillet. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the beef is coated in the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
  8. Enjoy your delicious and easy Beef Stroganoff!
