.) A few clever tricks make this version distinctly hers. First, she supplants the usual Worcestershire sauce with fish sauce. “You can’t taste the fish sauce,” Nguyen notes, “but you need it” to deliver a sauce with a powerful umami punch. Next, she replaces wan sliced white button mushrooms with hearty halved and quartered criminis. Finally, she replaces the typical chopped fresh parsley garnish with sliced scallions for a finish with more bite.
“Beef stroganoff has so few rules you don’t have to worry about breaking any,” Nguyen writes. In fact, there are dozens of interpretations of this 1950s staple of Russian origin, including ground beef stroganoff, ones made with cream of mushroom soup, slow-cooker and Crock-Pot renditions—and those that tell you to simply follow the package directions. Done well, it’s one of those main dishes that’s fitting for a dinner party or a
weeknight meal
with the whole family. The key is to make sure nothing gets overcooked. Nguyen opts for
skirt steak
over rib eye, beef tenderloin, or sirloin steak, pan-sears it in hunks, and then slices and serves it over the noodles and cream sauce so it stays tender and flavorful. To keep the salt level in check, she uses low-sodium beef stock instead of bouillon. One thing to look out for when making the stroganoff sauce: Sour cream can split if added directly to hot liquid, so mix it separately with a small amount of warm sauce to keep it smooth and produce a luxuriously creamy sauce to spoon over those buttered noodles. | |||||||||

## Preparation
1. #### Step 1
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil and 1 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium-high until butter is melted. Cook mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until browned and tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, then transfer to a plate.
#### Step 2
Combine 1 Tbsp. oil and remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in same skillet. Season steak generously with salt and pepper. Cook until well browned, 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Transfer to another plate; wipe out skillet.
#### Step 3
Reduce heat to medium and pour remaining 1 Tbsp. oil into pan. Cook shallots, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly darkened in color, about 2 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring often to coat shallots and garlic, until toasty smelling, about 3 minutes. Add wine; cook, scraping up browned bits, until evaporated, about 1 minute. Add broth, fish sauce, and any liquid from mushrooms (leave mushrooms behind). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce coats a spoon, 12–15 minutes.
#### Step 4
Slice steak against the grain. Place sour cream in a small heatproof bowl and gradually whisk in 1 cup sauce. Stir back into sauce in skillet. Taste and season with more salt or fish sauce if needed. Stir in mushrooms. Serve sauce over noodles, topped with steak and scallions.
