Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serving Size: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup Irish stout (such as Guinness)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Cooked mashed potatoes or buttered noodles, for serving
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef in batches and cook until browned on all sides. Transfer the cooked beef to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth and Irish stout, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and return the cooked beef to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the beef is heated through and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
- Serve the Irish Beef Stroganoff hot over a bed of cooked mashed potatoes or buttered noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy the comforting flavors of Ireland in every bite!
