Juicy Beef Stroganoff (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 600g rib eye or scotch fillet steak.
02 - Chopped chives (optional, for topping).
03 - 2 tbsp of flour.
04 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil, split in halves.
05 - 1 large onion, cut into slices.
06 - 300g of mushrooms, sliced up.
07 - 40g of butter.
08 - 2 cups of beef stock.
09 - 150ml of sour cream.
10 - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard.
11 - Salt and black pepper, to taste.
12 - 250-300g egg noodles or pasta.

# Instructions:

01 - Cut steaks into 5mm-thick strips after flattening them to about 3/4cm thickness.
02 - Sprinkle meat with black pepper and salt.
03 - Pour half the oil into a hot pan. Sear half the beef quickly, 30 seconds per side, then set aside. Do the same with the other half of the oil and beef.
04 - On medium-high heat, melt butter. Toss in onions for a minute, then cook mushrooms until golden brown.
05 - Sprinkle in flour and stir around for a minute. Slowly mix in the beef broth.
06 - Add mustard and sour cream, stir it all together. Let it simmer to get thick and creamy (around 3 to 5 minutes).
07 - Put the beef and any juices from the plate back in, and let it simmer for just a minute.

# Notes:

01 - Pick high-quality steak for best results.
02 - Searing the beef pink is fine.
03 - Avoid cooking the beef too long in the sauce.
04 - Use gluten-free cornstarch as a substitute.
05 - Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
06 - Can be frozen and reheated later.
07 - Works well with most starch sides.
08 - Swapping beef for pork is an option.
