Growing up, beef stroganoff was a family favorite weekend meal! I recently tried a different recipe and it was absolutely delicious. Both my husband, kids, and in-laws loved this meal too! I know that we will be making this dinner again soon. Want to try this new re-vamped family dish as well? If so, here are the ingredients you’ll need to pick up or purchase:

  • 3 tablespoons of butter, divided
  • 1 pound fresh Cremini mushrooms sliced into ¼ inch thick slices (aka baby portobello mushrooms)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cognac or brandy
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ pound onions, cut into medium strips the long way
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon country Dijon mustard (this is a product that mixes whole grain and smooth Dijon)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ pounds trimmed rib-eye steak, cut into cubes approximately 1½ inches
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
