Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or fillet, thinly sliced — splurge on quality beef for the best Gordon Ramsay Beef Stroganoff. Tender cuts make all the difference.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil — for searing the beef perfectly.
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped — adds sweetness and depth.
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced — because every good saucy beef stroganoff recipe needs garlic love.
  • 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced — grab cremini or button mushrooms from the fresh produce aisle or international section.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard — this secret ingredient brings a subtle sharpness that cuts through the creaminess.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce — another upgrade that boosts savory notes.
  • 1 cup beef stock — homemade or store-bought, but homemade kicks it up a notch.
  • 1 cup sour cream — for that tangy creamy finish that defines your Gordon Ramsay Beef Stroganoff.

How to Make It

This step is where the magic happens with your Gordon Ramsay Beef Stroganoff! Follow along, and I promise your kitchen will smell incredible.

1. Heat the pan and sear the beef — Start by heating 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high heat. Toss the thinly sliced beef in the hot pan just until browned but not fully cooked—about 1-2 minutes per side depending on thickness. You want a golden crust that locks in flavors. Remove beef and set aside.

2. Cook the onions and mushrooms — Add the remaining olive oil and toss in the chopped onions. Sauté until translucent, soft, and fragrant, around 4 minutes. Then add garlic and mushrooms. The mushrooms should release their juices and brown slightly—this adds a rich, earthy aroma that’s pure comfort.

3. Deglaze with the beef stock — Pour in the beef stock, scraping up those tasty browned bits stuck to the pan. This is a flavor jackpot for your creamy beef stroganoff.

4. Add mustard and Worcestershire sauce — Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce for that classic tang. This step lifts the sauce beyond ordinary into seriously crave-worthy territory.

5. Simmer and thicken — Reduce heat and let this beautiful concoction simmer for about 10 minutes until it reduces slightly and thickens.

6. Add sour cream and beef — Lower the heat to gentle warmth and stir in sour cream until the sauce is luxuriously creamy. Return the beef and toss gently in the sauce for a minute to warm through. Don’t boil once sour cream is added—that can cause it to split.

7. Season to taste — Salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of parsley if you love herb freshness. Your Gordon Ramsay Beef Stroganoff should now look golden and gorgeous, with tender beef nestled in a velvety sauce.

This recipe comes together in about 25-30 minutes, a perfect weeknight winner! Want a shortcut? Pre-sliced mushrooms from the store and pre-made stock cut a few minutes off prep.

A pro Gordon Ramsay Beef Stroganoff cooking tip: don’t skip the sear on the beef or you lose that amazing caramelized flavor foundation. Also, using sour cream instead of heavy cream keeps it tangy and traditional but still rich.
