How to Make Gordon Ramsay Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients

600 g / 1 lb 5 oz rib-eye steak, trimmed and pounded ¾ cm thick
300 g / 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced ⅛-inch thick
1 medium onion, thin-sliced
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
150 ml / ⅔ cup full-fat sour cream
500 ml / 2 cups low-salt beef broth
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp plain flour
2 Tbsp neutral oil, for searing
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Chopped chives, for garnish
Egg noodles or tagliatelle, for serving

Directions

Prep beef: Pound rib-eye to ensure even thickness. Slice it into strips and season with salt and pepper.
Sear batch 1: Heat 1 Tbsp of oil over high heat. Sear half the beef strips for about 30 seconds on each side, then transfer to a plate.
Sear batch 2: Add the remaining oil to the pan and repeat the searing process with the rest of the beef. Set aside.
Brown veg: Lower the heat and melt the butter in the same pan. Add the onions and cook for 1 minute. Then add the mushrooms and cook for about 4 minutes until they are golden.
Make roux: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir for 1 minute to cook the flour slightly.
Deglaze: Pour in ½ cup of the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any tasty bits. Once smooth, add the remainder of the broth and the Dijon mustard. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Finish sauce: Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream until you achieve a silky consistency.
Warm beef: Return the beef along with any juices back to the pan and heat on low for about 1 minute.
Serve: Ladle the beef stroganoff over buttered noodles and top with chopped chives.
