Classic Beef Stroganoff with Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef tenderloin or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces wild mushrooms (such as porcini, chanterelle, or shiitake), sliced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup sour cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes, for serving

Instructions:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their juices and are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Pour in the beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Continue to simmer the stroganoff gently for another 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together.

7. Serve the Beef Stroganoff hot over cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

9. Enjoy your sophisticated Beef Stroganoff with Wild Mushroom Cream Sauce!

• For extra richness, you can add a splash of dry white wine to the sauce along with the beef broth.
