Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced: Choose cuts that are well-marbled for tenderness and flavor.
- 2 tbsp olive oil: A heart-healthy fat that adds richness to your dish.
- 1 medium onion, chopped: Adds sweetness and depth to the overall flavor profile.
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced: Opt for cremini, shiitake, or button mushrooms for an earthy taste.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced: Enhances the savory notes of the dish.
- 1 cup beef broth: Provides a savory base for the sauce; use low-sodium if preferred.
- 1 cup heavy cream: Ensures a luscious, creamy texture without the carbs.
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard: Adds a tangy kick that balances the richness.
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (ensure it’s sugar-free): A staple for umami flavor.
- Salt and pepper, to taste: Essential for seasoning.
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish: Adds a touch of color and freshness.
Instructions
- Heat the Olive Oil: Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced beef in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even browning. Sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a nice brown crust. Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set it aside to keep warm.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté them for approximately 5-7 minutes until they soften and the onions become translucent. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute, stirring until fragrant.
- Prepare the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and incorporate all the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-5 minutes, reducing slightly.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and let the sauce simmer until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Combine with Beef: Return the cooked beef to the pan and stir to coat it in the creamy sauce. Allow it to heat through for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of color and flavor.
