Classic Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound beef tenderloin
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, cut in half
  • 1 pound mushrooms
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream

Method

  1. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pound this mixture into the beef tenderloin. Slice the meat into 1/2-inch strips.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Cook the beef strips until browned, which should take about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the meat to a covered container and refrigerate it. Leave the pan unwashed.
  3. Pour the water into the pan and add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring to lift all the browned bits from the pan base. Stir in the mushrooms and the condensed cream of chicken soup. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
  4. Place the beef and the prepared gravy into a pot. Heat through for about 5 minutes, ensuring it does not boil. Stir in the sour cream just before serving.
