Creamy Garlic Butter Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients

• 700 g beef steak (thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp butter (divided)
• 1 tbsp beef tallow
• 2 garlic (cloves, finely minced)
• 1 cup beef broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp cream cheese
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 0.5 tsp sea salt (plus more for seasoning beef)
• 0.25 tsp black pepper (plus more for seasoning beef)
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• fresh parsley (finely chopped, for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season lightly with sea salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat the beef tallow and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the sliced beef in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Transfer the browned beef to a plate.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the same skillet.

5. 5

   Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

6. 6

   Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen the flavorful browned bits (deglazing).

7. 7

   Stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme.

8. 8

   Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

9. 9

   Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking until melted and fully incorporated into the sauce.

10. 10

    Return the seared beef and any accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet.

11. 11

    Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, just until the beef is heated through and coated in the creamy sauce. Avoid overcooking the beef to keep it tender.

12. 12

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the beef in the final simmering stage to ensure it remains tender. The transcript mentions this can be served as a steak pasta, so consider serving over egg noodles or fettuccine.
