Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love Gordon Ramsay’s Beef Stroganoff because it’s creamy, savory, and full of deep flavor, all while being surprisingly easy to make. The key to this dish is the technique—searing the beef perfectly and letting the sauce come together smoothly without being overly complicated. The result is a dish that feels luxurious but is simple enough to whip up after a long day. Plus, it’s versatile enough to serve with your choice of noodles or pasta!

Ingredients

• 600g ribeye or scotch fillet

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

• 1 large onion (sliced)

• 300g mushrooms (sliced)

• 40g butter

• 2 tbsp plain flour

• 500ml beef broth

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 150ml sour cream

• Salt and pepper

• Pasta or egg noodles (for serving)

• Chives (optional, for garnish)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Prepare the Beef: Flatten and slice the ribeye or scotch fillet into thin strips. Season the beef with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Beef: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches, cooking for about 30 seconds per side, until browned. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside.

3. Cook the Vegetables: In the same pan, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Cook for about 1 minute, then add the mushrooms and cook until they turn golden.

4. Make the Sauce: Stir in the plain flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the Dijon mustard and let the sauce simmer to thicken.

5. Finish the Sauce: Remove the pan from heat and gently stir in the sour cream until smooth.

6. Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the seared beef and its juices to the pan, simmering for 1 minute to heat through.

7. Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff hot over pasta or egg noodles. Garnish with chives if desired.

Variations

• Different Meat: While ribeye or scotch fillet is ideal, I can substitute the beef with chicken or pork for a variation of this classic recipe.

• Mushroom Options: If I prefer, I can use other types of mushrooms like cremini or shiitake for a different flavor profile.

• Add More Veggies: For extra nutrients, I can add peas, spinach, or even carrots to the dish.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Leftover beef stroganoff can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

• Reheating: To reheat, I can warm the stroganoff in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water to loosen the sauce. Avoid adding more cream to keep the consistency smooth.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of beef?

Yes, I can use other cuts like sirloin or tenderloin. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time as needed, since thinner cuts may cook faster.

Can I make this dish in advance?

I can prepare the beef stroganoff ahead of time, but I recommend adding the sour cream just before serving to keep the sauce smooth and fresh.

What can I use instead of Dijon mustard?

If I don’t have Dijon mustard, I can use yellow mustard, though it will give the sauce a slightly different flavor. A little horseradish could also work as a substitute.

Can I use a different type of pasta?

Yes, I can use any type of pasta I prefer. Egg noodles are traditional, but fettuccine, pappardelle, or even rice would work great.

Can I freeze leftover beef stroganoff?

While it’s not ideal to freeze the sour cream-based sauce, I can freeze the beef and mushroom mixture separately. When I’m ready to eat it, I can thaw and then stir in fresh sour cream.

Gordon Ramsay’s Beef Stroganoff is a quick, creamy, and comforting dish that’s perfect for any night of the week.
