  • Add 1 Tbsp of flour to the meat and mix with a spoon or hands until meat strips are evenly covered.

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat, I recommend using a nonstick skillet.
    3 Tbsp olive oil
  • Add beef strips and cook for about 90 seconds until meat browns. Don't stir too often, just once should be enough. If the pan is overcrowded, the meat will steam rather than brown.

  • Remove browned beef to the plate and set aside.
  • Turn the heat to medium and add butter and sliced onions to the pan. Add salt and sauté for about 4 minutes, stirring. Onion should be soft and translucent.

Notes

Beef stroganoff is such a great recipe to make ahead of time! I love to make a big bath to enjoy for dinner and then freeze some of it to enjoy in a few weeks. You can freeze it in an airtight container for about 3-4 months and then let it defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating it on the stove while stirring frequently. 
If you have leftovers that you’d like to enjoy the following day, just store it in the fridge in an airtight container. It’ll keep for about 4 days and you can reheat it on the stove or in the microwave.
