Method:

• Take the strips of beef in a bowl and season it generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a skillet on high flame and throw in the strips of meat. Let it cook in its own juices.
• Once they are browned on all sides, keep it aside. Reduce the flame.
• To the same pan, add butter. Once the butter is melted, add the mushrooms, onion, a pinch of salt and saute them until slightly browned.
• Next, add the chopped garlic and stir fry it for 30 seconds after which you can add the flour. Stir that and cook it for another minute or two.
• Add the white wine and beef broth to this. Stir well and try to get the brown bits off from the bottom of the pan.
• Add the beef strips to this and when the mix starts to simmer, cover and cook it for another 1 hr on low heat. Stir it every 15- 20 minutes. Make sure that the stroganoff doesn't dry off. Add more broth if needed.
• Once the meat is done, add 1/2 cup of sour cream and stir well. If you want it saucier, you can add more sour cream. The mix can also be reduced until you get the right consistency.
• Stir in the freshly chopped coriander leaves. Taste for salt and pepper
• Serve it over egg noodles or pasta with a dollop of sour cream on top.
