Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms. Halve, peel and finely dice half the onion. Peel and mince garlic. Thinly slice chives.
- Once water is boiling, add linguine to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta cooking water, then drain and return linguine to pot.
- While pasta cooks, pat steak dry with paper towels. Thinly slice against the grain. Place 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 coated steak and cook until browned all over, 2-3 minutes. Transfer steak to a plate.
- Heat another drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and diced onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 4-6 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream sauce base, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, half the beef stock concentrate and 1 cup water. Reduce heat under pan to medium; add garlic and 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add remaining flour; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 30 seconds. Add cream sauce mixture; cook, stirring, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 minutes.
- Return steak to pan with sauce. Cook, stirring, until steak is cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and 2 tablespoons of the stroganoff sauce from the pan. Stir sour cream mixture back into pan. Keep covered until ready to serve.
- To the pot with drained linguine, add half the chives, remaining beef stock concentrate, reserved pasta cooking water and 3 tablespoons butter. Cook over medium-high heat until butter melts and sauce coats pasta, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide pasta between bowls, top with stroganoff and garnish with remaining chives.
Recipe Tips
For best results, slice the steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Tempering the sour cream with a bit of hot sauce before adding it to the pan prevents curdling.
Reserve more pasta water than you think you’ll need; it’s great for loosening the sauce if it gets too thick.
FAQ
Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, you can substitute ranch steak with sirloin or ribeye. Just be sure to slice it thinly against the grain.
Can I make this dish dairy-free?
You can try using dairy-free sour cream and butter alternatives, but the sauce may not be as creamy. The cream sauce base also contains dairy, so check labels.
How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or milk to restore creaminess.
