Crème fraîche is similar to sour cream but milder and sweeter, with a touch of nuttiness. Unlike sour cream, it can be simmered in sauces without curdling. Look for crème fraîche at well-stocked supermarkets or at gourmet food stores. To make your own, combine 1 cup of nonultrapasteurized heavy cream and 1 Tbs. buttermilk in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until just lukewarm. Pour into a bowl, cover loosely and let stand at room temperature until thickened, 8 to 48 hours or more. Chill before using.

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbs. olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lb. top sirloin, cut into thin strips about 1
      inch wide and 2 inches long
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 3 Tbs. unsalted butter
  • 3 leeks, white and light green portions only,
      cleaned and finely chopped
  • 1 lb. cremini mushrooms, brushed clean and
      sliced
  • 1 Tbs. tomato paste
  • 2 Tbs. all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 cups beef stock
  • 1/3 cup crème fraîche
  • 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
  • Finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish

Directions:

In a large fry pan over high heat, warm 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Add half of the beef strips (do not overcrowd the pan) and sauté until nicely browned but still a little pinkish on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat with 1 Tbs. of the oil and the remaining meat.

In the same pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the remaining 1 Tbs. oil. Add the leeks and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and sauté until nicely browned, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook until blended in, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to incorporate. Increase the heat to high, add the stock and bring to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the pan bottom. Boil for 1 minute, then reduce the heat to medium. Add the crème fraîche, mustard and lemon juice and cook for 1 minute more to allow the flavors to blend. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook just until the beef is heated through, about 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately. Serves 6.

Serving Tip: Stroganoff, though not technically a braise, has a similar consistency when finished. It is traditionally served over wide egg noodles.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of my family’s favorite meals! My whole family loves this recipe. I usually add an extra half pound of mushrooms to stretch it a little farther. For the steak I recommend just cutting it into a few large chunks, searing them until rare, and then resting it while you cook the mushrooms and create the sauce. Right when the sauce is finished, slice the steak into thin, bite-sized pieces and add it to the hot sauce. It cooks perfectly into super tender, medium rare pieces. It’s much easier, faster, and you don’t risk ending up with tough, over-cooked steak. I serve it over egg noodles or sautéed cabbage if we are avoiding carbs. So good!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfort Food with Flair I have made this recipe three times now, as it was a hit with my husband and I the first time we tried it. I substitute Greek yogurt for the creme fraiche to reduce the calories and yellow onions for the leeks. It's such a simple dish to make, but so satisfying served over some buttered egg noodles on a cold winter evening! I did not think the Dijon mustard was overpowering as the other reviewer mentioned. It blended well with the other flavors.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Too much mustard I had high hopes for this after reading the reviews. It had too much Dijon for my liking and my kids didn't like it either. Highly suggest that the Dijon is skipped or very little is added.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy and tasty recipe I made half of this recipe for two. It was very simple and fast even for a week night. I used sour cream instead.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rich Flavor Absolutely delicious. I did have to cook my mushrooms longer to get them browned, but it may be because I added twice as much as the recipe called for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Vegetarian Version After reading these reviews and those of the vegetarian stroganoff on the William-Sonoma site, I decided to use this recipe as my basis. I added one minced shallot and sauted with the leeks, subbed 1C wine, 1.1/2 C vegetable broth for the beef broth, used 2lbs total of mushrooms (crimini, button, shitake) in place of the beef and mushrooms, and a total of 8oz creme fresh (yummy stuff). Turned out fantastic with a "make again" vote from my husband.
