How to Make The Best Stroganov Stroganoff Ever

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season 1.5 lbs of beef sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch cubes) with salt and pepper. Sear the steak until all sides are nicely browned, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add 1 large onion (chopped) to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup dry sherry (optional), 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  5. Return the seared steak to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 1/2 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender. Stir occasionally.
  6. Stir in 2 cups sour cream (more if desired!).
  7. Heat through gently, ensuring the sour cream doesn't curdle (avoid boiling).
  8. Serve the rich and creamy stroganoff over 1 pound of cooked egg noodles.
