Ingredients
sirloin steak
1 lb (sliced into 2"x1"x1/4" pieces)
olive oil
2 tablespoons (for cooking)
onion
1/2 (chopped)
mushrooms (brown cremini or button)
8 ounces (sliced)
crushed garlic
1 teaspoon (for flavor)
low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup (for deglazing)
red wine
1/2 cup (for deglazing)
Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon (for depth of flavor)
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon (for seasoning)
ketchup
3 tablespoons (for sweetness and thickness)
parsley
1 tablespoon (chopped (or 1 tsp dried))
sour cream
1 cup (for creaminess)
Instructions
1
Begin by slicing the sirloin steak into strips measuring approximately 2 inches by 1 inch and 1/4 inch thick. This ensures quick, even cooking.
2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the sliced beef in a single layer, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan, which could prevent proper browning. Cook until the beef is lightly browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Remember, the beef will finish cooking later in the sauce.
3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, sliced mushrooms, and crushed garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the mushrooms release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. If the pan seems dry, cover it to steam the vegetables.
4
Once the vegetables are tender, deglaze the pan by pouring in the low-sodium chicken broth and red wine. Use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, as these add wonderful flavor.
5
Lower the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, black pepper, and parsley. Taste the sauce for seasoning; the added ingredients typically provide sufficient flavor, but adjust as needed with more pepper or a pinch of salt.
6
Return the browned beef to the skillet, stirring well to combine everything. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for a few minutes until the beef is cooked through and heated.
7
In a small bowl, add the sour cream. Gradually mix in 3 tablespoons of the hot sauce from the skillet, one tablespoon at a time, to temper the sour cream and prevent it from curdling. This step ensures a smooth incorporation into the dish.
8
Once combined, pour the sour cream mixture back into the skillet and stir until everything is evenly coated. If the sauce appears slightly grainy, increase the heat and let it simmer for a couple of minutes until it becomes creamy and luscious again.
9
Remove from heat and serve immediately over cooked noodles or fluffy rice. Enjoy the heartwarming flavors of this delightful stroganoff!
