Instructions

- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef strips, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Sear the beef until it’s browned on all sides, which will take around 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add more butter if needed and sauté the onions until they turn translucent.
- Incorporate the mushrooms and garlic, cooking until they release their moisture.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom and onion mixture, stirring well to coat.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, then reintroduce the beef.

Tips
- For a thicker sauce, consider adding more flour, but ensure it’s well mixed to avoid clumps.
- Opt for a lean cut of beef to make it healthier.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier taste and fewer calories.
- Always let the beef come to room temperature before cooking; this helps in even cooking.
Serving Suggestions
- While traditional beef stroganoff is served over egg noodles, you can also try it with rice, mashed potatoes, or even a slice of crusty bread.
- Pair your beef stroganoff with a green salad on the side to add freshness to your meal.
- A light dessert, perhaps a fruit salad, complements the richness of the beef stroganoff quite well.
