Read More Advertisement - Continue Reading Below ## Ingredients See Nutritional Information Print - **1** **lb.** sirloin steak, cut into cubes - Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste - **2** **Tbsp.** olive oil - **1/2** whole large onion, finely diced - **2** whole carrots, finely diced - **8** **oz.** cremini or white button mushrooms, stemmed and halved - **1/2** **cup** brandy - **2** **cups** beef stock - **2** **Tbsp.** cornstarch - **1/4** **cup** sour cream, room temperature - **1** **tsp.** (heaping) dijon mustard - Cooked egg noodles, for serving - Minced parsley, for serving ## Directions - 1. Step 1Season the steak with salt and pepper, then heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Add half the meat to the pan and brown it quickly, about 2 minutes. Remove the first batch to a bowl and cook the rest of the meat. Remove and set all the meat aside. 2. Step 2Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and add the onion, carrots, and mushrooms. Cook until the mixture is deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the brandy and 2 cups of the stock. Stir, scrape the bottom of the pan, and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook to reduce the liquid by about a third, 3 to 4 minutes. 3. Step 3In a small pitcher, make a slurry by mixing the remaining 1/4 cup stock and the cornstarch with a fork. Pour the slurry into the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Stir in the sour cream and Dijon. Add the beef and stir over low heat until the mixture is nice and piping hot. Taste and adjust seasonings as you like. 4. Step 4Serve over cooked noodles and sprinkle with parsley. *** [](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a83612/beef-stroganoff/&description=thepioneerwoman&media=https://hips.hearstapps.com/thepioneerwoman/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dsc_0089.jpg?resize=1600:*) Ree Drummond It always cracks me up that Beef Stroganoff is a popular comfort food in America, considering Beef Stroganoff is a Russian dish.

Now, if you compare this to other images of regular Beef Stroganoff recipes, you’ll see that I like mine a little darker and browner. So this probably isn’t the most traditional approach. If you like things a little lighter/creamier, simply add more sour cream. Either way, I know you’ll love it.
