Beef Stroganoff with sour cream

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make beef stroganoff with sour cream in a frying pan? Prepare the necessary products. Both the cooking time and the taste of the finished dish will depend on the quality of the meat. To make the meat softer, juicier and cook faster, it is better to choose young beef (I took veal). Tenderloin or filet work well. Choose sour cream of any fat content. Instead of olive oil, you can use any vegetable oil without a distinct odor.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the meat and dry it well. Cut the meat across the grain into pieces no thicker than 1 cm. Why do you need to cut beef across the grain? This will disrupt the fiber structure, and the finished meat will be softer. The cooking time will also be reduced. To further soften the meat fibers, lightly beat the cut pieces with a hammer on both sides.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the prepared pieces of meat into thin strips.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the pre-peeled onions into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Heat 2 types of oil (butter and olive) in a frying pan.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the prepared meat in the pan. Fry the meat over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. The resulting crust will retain the meat juice inside the pieces, and the meat will be more juicy.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add chopped onions to the meat and stir.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fry the meat and onions over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is half cooked.

9. STEP 9

   

   Sprinkle the meat pieces evenly with flour and stir. Pour hot water into the meat, add salt, and stir again. Simmer the beef stroganoff over moderate heat, covered, for about 20 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add sour cream, ground black pepper, basil and a mixture of herbs to the pan, stir. Choose any spices and seasonings to your taste that are suitable for meat.

11. STEP 11

    

    Simmer the beef stroganoff with sour cream at a low simmer, covered, for another 15-20 minutes until the meat is cooked. The total cooking time may vary significantly, as it depends on the quality of the meat (age of the animal and part of the carcass).

12. STEP 12

    

    Serve beef stroganoff with any side dish. Bon appetit!

I was looking for a recipe for a beef dish and found a wonderful recipe: beef stroganoff with sour cream! Simple preparation, and the result is amazing! I prepared all the ingredients: I cut the meat into thin slices, finely chopped the onion. Heat oil in a frying pan, add onion and lightly fry. Then I added the meat to the onion, mixed it and fried it together a little. I added flour, stirred, then water, salt, and spices for the meat. I stewed everything together for about 25 minutes. Then I added sour cream and another 30 minutes. The meat turned out tender, aromatic and very tasty! I recommend you try it! Thanks to Julia for the recipe!

Thank you very much for the recipe. This dish is my favorite, but I have never been able to cook it deliciously at home. And finally the meat came out soft, apparently the secret is that the beef needs to be thermally treated in a frying pan for quite a long time, and also beaten in advance. I haven’t attached a photo, the dish doesn’t look particularly colorful, but it’s delicious!
