Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 onion peeled and finely sliced
200 g (7oz) baby chestnut mushrooms thickly sliced
400 g (14oz) fillet or ribeye steak sliced into strips around 1cm thick
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
240 ml (1 cup) double (heavy) cream
160 ml (⅔ cup) sour cream
To Serve:
Boiled rice
Egg Fried Rice
or cooked pasta (such as fusilli or penne)
1/4 tsp paprika
fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat one tbsp of the oil and butter in a large frying pan (skillet) over a medium-high heat, until the butter
starts to foam.
2. Add the onion, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften.
3. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until lightly browned.
4. Transfer the contents of the pan to a bowl. Place the pan back over the heat and turn the heat up to high.
5. Drizzle the strips of steak with the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and sprinkle on the salt and pepper.
6. Place the steak in the pan in a single layer and cook for 1 minute, then turn the steak strips over and
cook for a further 30 seconds.
7. Add the onions and mushrooms back to the pan and turn the pan down a medium heat.
8. Pour in the double (heavy) cream, followed by the sour cream. Stir and slowly heat through until the
sauce is hot and the sauce at the edge of the pan is just starting to bubble slightly (don't let it boil). Turn
off the heat.
9. Spoon the stroganoff over cooked rice or pasta and sprinkle on the paprika before serving.
Notes
Best cut of steak for beef stroganoff:
Ribeye, sirloin or fillet steak are best. You’re looking for a steak with lots of flavour, that can be cooked
quickly over a high heat without becoming chewy.
Full fat sour cream shouldn’t be replaced with lower fat sour cream. Full fat sour cream is about 20% fat –
which is under that 25% fat threshold. The higher fat in the double/heavy cream that we add in first helps to
protect the sour cream, so long as it’s heated slowly and not boiled.
Ultimately, this is an indulgent dish, so it will be high in fat – but is also delicious and filling.
