Chef John's Traditional Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients List

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1/2-inch thick strips

• salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms

• ½ medium onion, sliced or diced

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour

• ½ cup white wine

• 2 cups beef broth, divided

• ¾ cup creme fraiche

• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives

• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until it's just about smoking. Add the beef and cook, stirring constantly, for 6 to 7 minutes, until the liquid evaporates and the meat begins to brown.

Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside. Add mushrooms, onions, and butter to the pan; cook and stir over medium heat until the vegetables are lightly browned.

Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Mix in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fully incorporated. Pour in the wine and 1 cup of broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Stir in crème fraîche and chives. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

Serve hot and enjoy your meal!
