SAVE RECIPE Beef stroganoff's origins may be Russian, but it's turned into a classic American comfort food dish over the years. It's also the perfect recipe when you have a few ounces of leftover cooked steak. It's a relatively easy recipe to make, even if you don't have cooked beef in the fridge; you can simply start from scratch with raw sirloin tips, for example. The recipe begins with cooking the mushrooms in butter and water, letting the mixture boil until the water evaporates, resulting in tender, flavorful mushrooms that brown beautifully. Once the sauce is made, it's time to add the cooked steak. Incorporating the steak at the end will help to keep the meat tender and prevent it from overcooking and getting tough.

Ingredients for beef stroganoff Remove the leftover cooked steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Cooked steak sliced on a white plate Pile the mushrooms into a small sauté pan; they should be crowded. Sprinkle with the kosher salt and add the butter. Mushrooms in a pan with butter Add enough water to cover the contents (the mushrooms will float, but that's OK). Set the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. When the butter melts, stir to combine. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook until the water evaporates completely. Continue to cook, stirring, until the mushrooms begin to brown. Boil mushrooms in a sauté pan Add the shallot to the pan with the mushrooms and cook, occasionally stirring, until the shallot softens and starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Shallot cooked with mushrooms Sprinkle the shallot and mushrooms with the flour and cook, stirring, for a few minutes until the flour is browned.

How to Make the Stroganoff With Raw Steak If using raw beef, sprinkle the slices with salt and toss. Let rest for 15 minutes to help it come to room temperature. Heat a couple of tablespoons of butter in a small sauté pan until the foaming subsides. Sear the beef slices on both sides just until done. If necessary, work in batches so you don't crowd the pan. Remove the meat and set aside. Add enough water to the pan to dissolve the browned bits on the bottom of the pan (this is called deglazing), scraping to get as much dissolved as possible. Add the cleaned mushrooms to the pan and continue with the recipe, adding the meat back into the pan toward the end. How to Store Beef stroganoff will keep in the refrigerator for three to four days if stored in a tightly sealed container. Reheat the stroganoff gently to avoid curdling the sour cream sauce. Tips When adding the flour, it's important to stir and cook for about 2 minutes to cook away any raw flour taste. If using raw steak, it's easier to slice when partially frozen. Recipe Variations Replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt. Add an extra pop of flavor with a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Instead of steak, make the stroganoff with leftover pork roast. If you don't have cognac or brandy, use white wine. If you prefer not to cook with alcohol, add an extra 1/4 cup of beef stock. Instead of noodles, serve the stroganoff with hot mashed potatoes or rice. This recipe published with BigOven, and can be imported instantly by BigOven users.
