🍲 How To Make Julia Child Beef Stroganoff

1. The steaks should be 3/4cm / 1/3″ thick when flattened with your fist. Slice 5mm / 1/5″ strips (cut long ones in half) and remove fat.
2. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet on high. Spread half the beef in the skillet quickly using tongs. Leave for 30 seconds to brown. Turn beef rapidly (as best you can). Brown without touching for 30 seconds. Remove to plate immediately. Do not worry about pink bits or raw insides.
4. Pour in remaining 1 tbsp oil and repeat with beef.
5. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add butter, melt. Add onions, sauté 1 minute, then mushrooms.
6. Turn mushrooms golden. Scrape fry pan bottom to remove golden crumbs (flavor!).
7. Cook flour for 1 minute, stirring.
8. Add half the broth and mix. Add remaining broth after incorporating.
9. Stir, then add mustard and sour cream. Sour cream will “melt” as it cooks, so stir until combined.
10. Simmer then lower heat to medium low. Adjust salt and pepper to taste after 3–5 minutes, when it thickens to pouring cream.
11. Add beef and plate juices. Remove from stove after 1 minute of simmering.
12. If desired, sprinkle chives over pasta or egg noodles.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Use tender cuts of beef like rib eye or sirloin for optimal texture.
• Avoid overcooking the beef to prevent toughness.Adjust sour cream quantity to taste, balancing richness without overpowering flavors.
• Thicken the sauce gradually with flour to achieve desired consistency.
• Experiment with spices like paprika or garlic for added depth of flavor.
