Super Easy Beef Stroganoff

Course: Dinner
Keyword: beef, easy, quick, stroganoff
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw tender beef thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup fresh sliced mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 284 ml can of condensed mushroom soup

Optional:

  • 1 green pepper chopped or sliced
  • 1 carrot sliced

Instructions

  • Cut beef into thin strips, brown in oil in a large skillet. Tender beef will only take a couple minutes to sear. Add sliced mushrooms and onions, cook vegetables and beef until vegetables are slightly tender, not mushy.
    Add the non-diluted can of condensed mushroom soup to skillet, stir, and then add a half can of water to skillet. Stir and let simmer on low 20 minutes.
    If desired, stir in a couple tablespoons of sour cream just before serving.  
    Serve over: noodles, rice or mashed potatoes
    If adding any of the optional ingredients, do so together when adding mushrooms and onions.

Notes

If you’d like to use a tougher cut of beef, a good slow cooker recipe would be more suited to chewier meats. Another way would be to brown, then simmer the tougher beef slices in a beef or vegetable broth (enough broth to cover a pound of beef) for a couple hours until tender enough to chew, reduce broth to a cup, then add a can condensed mushroom soup (not diluted) to the beef and broth, stir together well. Simmer low for another 20 minutes or until broth is a creamy consistency. Saute vegetables in a separate frying pan, mix with stroganoff and serve over noodles.
