How To Make easy weeknight beef stroganoff

Step 1

Preheat large deep skillet or dutch oven to medium-high. Put 1 - 2 tablespoons of oil to coat. Place beef, onions, garlic, and mushrooms in the skillet, then cover beef with water and add the beef boullion. Cover and simmer on low-medium heat for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Once beef is cooked through and mushrooms and onions soft, add 1 block of cream cheese, stir, and bring back to steady simmer. Simmer UNCOVERED for another 15 - 30 minutes on low to medium heat, until sauce has reduced by half. Stir in sour cream.
Step 3

Once fully incorporated and thickened, remove from heat and serve over wide egg noodles, pasta or gnocchi.
