Method
- Step 1
Slice the beef (200 ml) into thin strips across the grain. Pat dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and black pepper.
- Step 2
Heat the olive oil (15 ml) in a large frying pan over a high heat. Working in batches, sear the beef (200 ml) briefly until browned on the outside. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and the sliced onion (1 onion) and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms (250 g) and cook for 5-6 minutes.
- Step 4
Stir in the garlic (2 cloves) and paprika (3 g) and cook for 30 seconds. Add the Dijon mustard (15 g) and Worcestershire sauce (15 ml), stirring to combine.
- Step 5
Pour in the beef stock (200 ml), scraping the bottom of the pan to release any caramelised bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir through the soured cream (150 g) until combined.
- Step 7
Return the beef (200 ml) and any resting juices to the pan. Gently warm through for a minute or two, taking care not to let the sauce boil.
- Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning, then finish with lemon juice and freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately with steamed rice, pasta or mashed potatoes.

Questions people ask
How long does easy beef stroganoff recipe take?
About 35 min from start to finish, of which 15 min is prep and 20 min is cooking. That figure is worked out from the method rather than timed with a stopwatch, so give yourself a little more the first time.
How many does it serve, and can I change that?
As written it serves 4. Use the scale control on the recipe card to change it: every quantity in the ingredients and inside the method steps updates with it. Seasoning, and anything measured in pinches or splashes, is deliberately left alone.
Can I see the ingredients in ounces and pints?
Yes. The metric and imperial switch on the recipe card converts every quantity, rounded to amounts you can actually weigh or measure rather than to four decimal places. Your choice is remembered for every recipe on the site.
