Easy Homemade beef stroganoff

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef sirloin or stew meat, cut into thin strips
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, toss the beef strips with the flour, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides.
3. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
4. Add the onion to the pan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until browned, about 10 minutes.
6. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and sour cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Return the beef to the pan and heat through.
8. Serve over cooked egg noodles or rice.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Tips:

• If you don’t have beef sirloin or stew meat, you can use another type of lean beef, such as flank steak or skirt steak. Just be sure to cut it very thin so that it cooks quickly.
• You can also use a can of condensed cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom soup.
• If the sauce is too thin, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water. Stir the slurry into the sauce and cook until thickened.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Suggested Pairings

• Wine: A hearty red wine, such as a Pinot Noir or Merlot, would pair well with beef stroganoff.
• Beer: A full-bodied beer, such as an amber ale or a stout, would also be a good pairing.
• Salad: A simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing would help to cut through the richness of the dish.
• Vegetables: Roasted vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts or carrots, would also be a good side dish.
