PREPARATION:
Prepare the Beef: Season the beef strips with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.
Sauté the Onions and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until the onions become translucent and the mushrooms release their moisture and brown.
Create the Sauce: Push the sautéed onions and mushrooms to the side of the skillet. In the cleared space, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually whisk in the beef broth, sour cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dry white wine (if using). Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and simmers.
Return the Beef: Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir it into the sauce. Simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Serve the Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
