Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan then add the sliced onion and cook on a medium heat until completely softened, so around 15 mins, adding a little splash of water if they start to stick at all.
Crush in the garlic and cook for a 2-3 mins further, then add the butter.
Once the butter is foaming a little, add the mushrooms and cook for around 5 mins until completely softened.
Season everything well, then tip onto a plate.
Tip the flour into a bowl with a big pinch of salt and pepper, then toss the steak in the seasoned flour.
Add the steak pieces to the pan, splashing in a little oil if the pan looks particularly dry, and fry for 3-4 mins, until well coloured.
Tip the onions and mushrooms back into the pan.
Whisk the crème fraîche, mustard and beef stock together, then pour into the pan.
Cook over a medium heat for around 5 mins.
Scatter with parsley, then serve with pappardelle or rice.
👨🍳 Chef's Culinary Notes
Cultural Heritage
Beef Stroganoff carries a rich culinary tradition rooted in regional home cooking. Developed over generations, the recipe highlights wholesome local ingredients prepared with time-honored kitchen techniques.
Dietary Substitutions
If you need to accommodate dietary restrictions, onions can be substituted with an equivalent volume of seasonal vegetables, legumes, or a protein alternative of your preference.
Chef Technique Tips
Season in stages rather than all at once at the end. Salting components as they cook draws out excess moisture, intensifies natural sugars, and builds harmonious depth of flavor throughout the dish.
