Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) beef chuck roast
Main Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) butter
- 4 green onions, sliced (white parts only)
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 (10.5 ounce/298 grams) can condensed beef broth
- 1 (6 ounce/170 grams) can sliced mushrooms, drained
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) sour cream
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) white wine
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Meticulously trim excess fat and bones from chuck roast, slicing into uniform 2-inch-long strips approximately 1/2 inch thick. Season generously with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat until it becomes golden and fragrant. Carefully sear meat strips until they develop a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Transfer browned meat pieces to a separate section of the skillet, creating space for the next ingredients.
- Introduce chopped onions to the skillet, sautéing them for 3-5 minutes until they become translucent and slightly golden. Gently incorporate the browned meat with the onions.
- Create a small clearing in the skillet and sprinkle flour directly into the meat and onion drippings. Whisk thoroughly to create a smooth roux.
- Gradually pour in beef broth, continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat. Stir in Dijon mustard and cover the skillet.
- Simmer the dish for approximately 60 minutes, or until the beef becomes incredibly tender and easily pulls apart.
- During the final 5 minutes of cooking, fold in sliced mushrooms, creamy sour cream, and a splash of white wine. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Allow the sauce to heat through, ensuring all ingredients are well-integrated and piping hot.
- Serve the rich, velvety beef stroganoff over a bed of warm egg noodles, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
