Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry all produce. Trim and thinly slice the mushrooms (if not pre-sliced). Halve, peel and finely dice half the onion (use whole onion for 4 servings). Peel and mince the garlic. Thinly slice the chives.
- Once the water is boiling, add the linguine and cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water (1/2 cup for 4 servings), then drain and return the linguine to the pot.
- While the pasta cooks, pat the steak dry with paper towels. Thinly slice against the grain. Place the steak in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add half the flour and toss to coat. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the coated steak and cook until browned all over, 2-3 minutes (cook in batches for 4 servings). Transfer the steak to a plate; it will finish cooking later.
- Heat another drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 4-6 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream sauce base, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, half the beef stock concentrate and 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings). After the vegetables have cooked, reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings). Cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add the remaining flour and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Pour in the cream sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 minutes.
- Return the steak to the pan with the vegetables and sauce. Cook, stirring, until the steak is cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream with 2 tablespoons of the stroganoff sauce from the pan (4 tablespoons for 4 servings). This tempers the sour cream to prevent curdling. Stir the sour cream mixture into the pan. Keep covered until ready to serve.
- To the pot with the drained linguine, add half the chives, the remaining beef stock concentrate, the reserved pasta cooking water and 3 tablespoons butter (6 tablespoons for 4 servings). Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the butter melts and the sauce coats the pasta, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the pasta among shallow bowls, top with the stroganoff and garnish with the remaining chives. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For the best flavor, use a heavy-bottomed pan to get a good sear on the steak.
Tempering the sour cream with a bit of hot sauce before adding it to the pan prevents curdling.
Reserve extra pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
FAQ
Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, you can substitute with sirloin or ribeye. Just slice thinly against the grain for tenderness.
Can I make this dish gluten-free?
Absolutely! Use gluten-free linguine and replace the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend or cornstarch.
How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
