Beef stroganoff is a Russian classic that's become a worldwide comfort food favorite. Tender strips of beef and earthy mushrooms in a deeply savory sauce enriched with sour cream.

Sear the beef over high heat in batches — crowding the pan steams the meat instead of browning it.

Add the sour cream off the heat to prevent curdling. Serve over buttered egg noodles.

  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin, sliced into strips
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced

  • 2 tbsp flour
