Ingredients
- 2½pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3medium yellow onions, peeled and sliced
- ½cup white wine
- 1teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¾cup yogurt
- 2tablespoons butter
- 8ounces button or crimini mushrooms, stems removed and caps sliced
- Cooked and buttered egg noodles (optional)
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Season the beef all over with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a stew pot over high heat. When hot, add the beef and cook, in batches if needed, until browned. Transfer to a plate.
- Step 2
Reduce heat to medium-low, add the onions and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 15 minutes. Add the white wine, 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt, scraping the caramelized bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Return the beef and its juices to the pot and bring to a boil. Cover, place in the oven and cook until the beef is tender, about 2½ to 3 hours.
- Step 3
Transfer the beef and ¼ of the onions to a large plate. Purée the remaining onions and cooking liquid in a blender with the mustard and yogurt, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Return the beef and the reserved onions to the cooking pot and stir in the sauce.
- Step 4
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender. Season with salt, and add to the pot. If you choose, serve over buttered egg noodles.

Cooking Notes
I tried this recipe "as is" but think I would have liked it better with sour cream or creme Fraiche. Egg noodles are a must!
What is the amount of yogurt? * does not translate.
Used about 2 lbs of top sirloin, 1 qt of fresh button Mushrooms, 1 c sour cream, olive oil, seared steak then cubed, soften onions (2 med-lg yellow) (after steak was removed) and let cook w lid on 15 min. Put about 2 c water and meat back in and boiled on high till liquid reduced by about 50% removed steak and about 1/2 c of onions and pureed juice+onions in blender as recipe. Soften Mushrooms and steak on med. Once soft added sour cream sauce, w heat off, and topped noodles when served.
I made this recipe twice. The first time I followed it completely except I added a handful of dried mixed mushrooms that had been reconstituted and added the dried mushroom liquid to the sauteed mushrooms to impart greater depth of flavor. The second time, I increased the onions from 3 to 4 and doubled the crimini mushrooms from 8 oz to 16 oz. I also made the recipe two days before serving to allow the flavors to develop. I garnished w parsley and sour cream. With changes 5 stars.
The only changes I made were 2.3 lbs of chuck roast and I tripled the mushrooms. Everyone loved it
I cook with a spice packet of cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf and juniper berries. I also prefer sour cream to yoghurt. Red vermouth is good too.
Excellent. I cut the beef into larger chunks though to be certain it didn't become a shredded beef mess. I also used a homemade broth instead of simply water. My preference for stroganoff mushrooms is lion's mane, as I much prefer their texture.
This is not enough mustard, by far. I think at least 1 TBS would be better, and perhaps even adding a dash of french's yellow mustard (sacrilege, i know) along with the dijon. Next time I will add a tbs of yellow mustard powder and see if that improves the flavor. And yes, sour cream is better though I did use greek yogurt which was ok.

I made this recipe according to the instructions exactly, but the sauce was very thin.
Add brandy; omit white wine. Add tarragon. Add sour cream; omit yogurt. Increase butter; omit oil. O. M. G.
I substituted yoga,and used sour cream. Tasted great
Meh, it was OK. I too used sour cream in place of yogurt and otherwise followed the recipe precisely. It lacks a little something I cannot put my finger on. Maybe because my mom didn't make it. Back in the day things tasted better when mom made it.
Did not make any changes o this recipe. It was perfect as is. Very rich and comforting on a snowy cold night.
Actually , I did make one change, I used sour cream instead of yogourt.

Also used sour cream in place of yoghurt. Most excellent! Will make again!
