When the weather turns chilly, there’s nothing more comforting than a warm, hearty meal. One-pot beef stroganoff is perfect for a cozy dinner, combining tender beef, creamy sauce, and mushrooms all cooked together for easy cleanup and maximum flavor.
Ingredients You Will Need
- 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces (225g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Start by heating the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and become tender, approximately 5 minutes.
Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the beef broth and add the Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
Serving Suggestions
This one-pot beef stroganoff pairs beautifully with egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. For a lighter option, serve it over steamed vegetables or a bed of greens. A side of crusty bread also complements this hearty dish perfectly.
Tips for Perfect Stroganoff
- Use tender cuts of beef for the best texture.
- Do not boil after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Adjust the amount of paprika to suit your taste for a milder or spicier dish.
- Garnish with fresh herbs to add brightness and color.
Enjoy this cozy, comforting meal on a chilly evening and impress your family or guests with a simple yet delicious dish that comes together in just one pot!
