Super Easy Beef 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 potatoesIf 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.
