Serve with cooked egg noodles or rice- it's a delicious addition to both! This simple stroganoff recipe is made from scratch and is super easy to make too! From juicy and soft pieces of meat to the nicely browned mushrooms and creamy sauce, this comforting meal is delicious and heartwarming.
Mix the marinade and reserve half for later. Place the meat into a zipper topped bag or large glass bowl filled with the remaining half of marinade and let rest for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Remove meat from marinade and cook the steak on a skillet for 2-5 minutes per side until cooked through and browned on all sides.
Place the meat on a plate to the side to rest. Place the mushrooms and onions in the skillet until soft and caramelized looking. About 5-10 minutes.
Add in flour and stir to combine. Pour in the reserved marinade, whisking to combine.
Slowly add in the half and half, ground pepper, and sour cream. Stir and cook until thickened.
Add the meat back into the skillet and then stir to combine.
Serve over rice or egg noodles, as desired.
Notes
What beef cut should I use? I have used beef stew cuts, thinly sliced flank steak, or even regular steaks that were sliced thinly. Any thin cut of beef can work nicely. Just remember you want to be able to chew it and the smaller it is the more the marinade helps.This sauce thickens as it finishes cooking and cooling, but if you want it even thicker, you can achieve this by adding a small cornstarch slurry at the end.
