Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Season the beef all over with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a stew pot over high heat. When hot, add the beef and cook, in batches if needed, until browned. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Reduce heat to medium-low, add the onions and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 15 minutes. Add the white wine, 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt, scraping the caramelized bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Return the beef and its juices to the pot and bring to a boil. Cover, place in the oven and cook until the beef is tender, about 2½ to 3 hours.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer the beef and ¼ of the onions to a large plate. Purée the remaining onions and cooking liquid in a blender with the mustard and yogurt, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Return the beef and the reserved onions to the cooking pot and stir in the sauce.

  4. Step 4

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender. Season with salt, and add to the pot. If you choose, serve over buttered egg noodles.

Cooking Notes

I tried this recipe "as is" but think I would have liked it better with sour cream or creme Fraiche. Egg noodles are a must!

What is the amount of yogurt? * does not translate.

Used about 2 lbs of top sirloin, 1 qt of fresh button Mushrooms, 1 c sour cream, olive oil, seared steak then cubed, soften onions (2 med-lg yellow) (after steak was removed) and let cook w lid on 15 min. Put about 2 c water and meat back in and boiled on high till liquid reduced by about 50% removed steak and about 1/2 c of onions and pureed juice+onions in blender as recipe. Soften Mushrooms and steak on med. Once soft added sour cream sauce, w heat off, and topped noodles when served.

The only changes I made were 2.3 lbs of chuck roast and I tripled the mushrooms. Everyone loved it

I cook with a spice packet of cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf and juniper berries. I also prefer sour cream to yoghurt. Red vermouth is good too.

Excellent. I cut the beef into larger chunks though to be certain it didn't become a shredded beef mess. I also used a homemade broth instead of simply water. My preference for stroganoff mushrooms is lion's mane, as I much prefer their texture.

This is not enough mustard, by far. I think at least 1 TBS would be better, and perhaps even adding a dash of french's yellow mustard (sacrilege, i know) along with the dijon. Next time I will add a tbs of yellow mustard powder and see if that improves the flavor. And yes, sour cream is better though I did use greek yogurt which was ok.

I made this recipe according to the instructions exactly, but the sauce was very thin.

Add brandy; omit white wine. Add tarragon. Add sour cream; omit yogurt. Increase butter; omit oil. O. M. G.

I substituted yoga,and used sour cream. Tasted great

Meh, it was OK. I too used sour cream in place of yogurt and otherwise followed the recipe precisely. It lacks a little something I cannot put my finger on. Maybe because my mom didn't make it. Back in the day things tasted better when mom made it.

Did not make any changes o this recipe. It was perfect as is. Very rich and comforting on a snowy cold night.

Actually , I did make one change, I used sour cream instead of yogourt.

Also used sour cream in place of yoghurt. Most excellent! Will make again!
