Ingredients
- 1 lb prime rib steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth (preferably low sodium)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup sour cream, full fat or reduced fat
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Egg noodles or mashed potatoes, for serving
Equipment
- Large skillet or sauté pan
- Cutting board and sharp knife
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Colander (if cooking noodles)
- Serving plates or bowls
Instructions
- Prepare the prime rib: Trim any excess fat and slice the prime rib against the grain into thin strips about ¼ inch thick. Set aside.
- Sauté the aromatics and mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the mushrooms: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 7-8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cook the prime rib: Push the mushrooms and onions to the side of the pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Increase heat to medium-high and add the sliced prime rib. Sear the meat quickly for 1-2 minutes until just browned but still tender. Avoid overcooking. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
- Create the sauce base: Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Add beef broth and mustard: Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Stir in the Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Finish the stroganoff sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream, mixing thoroughly to create a creamy sauce. Return the prime rib to the pan and warm through for 1-2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately: Spoon the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
Tips & Variations
“For the best flavor, use freshly sliced prime rib instead of pre-packaged beef strips. Also, don’t overcook the meat — prime rib is best enjoyed medium rare to medium for tenderness.”
- Make it gluten-free: Use cornstarch instead of flour to thicken the sauce and ensure your beef broth is gluten-free.
- Swap sour cream: For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt, adding it off the heat to prevent curdling.
- Add wine: Deglaze the pan with ½ cup dry white wine before adding beef broth for an extra layer of flavor.
- Include fresh herbs: Thyme or tarragon can be added with the mushrooms for a herby accent.
- Vegetable boost: Stir in some steamed green beans or peas for added color and nutrition.
