Authentic Russian Beef Stroganoff with Mushroom Gravy
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1/4-inch wide strips
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 1/4 cups cold beef stock
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons cooking sherry
Instructions
1
Combine the flour with salt and pepper in a bowl, then add it to the beef strips. Coat the beef strips evenly with the flour mixture.
2
Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the coated beef strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are nicely browned on all sides, approximately 5 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet; cook until the onion is just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the beef and mushroom mixture to a serving plate.
3
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over low heat. Add 3 tablespoons of flour to the skillet and cook until it forms a light brown paste, about 1-2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and slowly pour in beef stock, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens and there are no lumps left.
