🔵 Step 1: Sauté the Beef
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 3–5 minutes until the beef is browned but not overcooked. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure a good sear.

🔵 Step 2: Add Aromatics
Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2–3 minutes until the onions become translucent, which should infuse the dish with a savory aroma.

🔵 Step 3: Incorporate the Mushrooms
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender. This step builds a deep, earthy flavor that’s characteristic of Beef Stroganoff.

🔵 Step 4: Thicken the Mixture
Sprinkle the tablespoon of flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.

🔵 Step 5: Create the Sauce
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5–7 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Then, lower the heat and stir in the sour cream. Continue to cook until heated through, but do not boil.

🔵 Step 6: Return the Beef
Add the cooked beef back to the skillet and stir until well combined. Allow everything to heat through for another 2 minutes while adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

🔵 Step 7: Serve
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve your Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, rice, or even mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.
