Thomas Keller Beef Stroganoff Recipe

This Thomas Keller recipe is everything you want in a rich, slow-simmered beef stroganoff!
For this, I let the meat sear undisturbed to build up a deep crust before deglazing with brandy.
Keller’s version leans on crème fraîche instead of sour cream, which gives a smooth, slightly tangy balance to the sauce.
The mushrooms soak up all the depth from the pan, and when they release their juices, it adds an extra layer of richness.
Serve it over buttered egg noodles, and you’ve got something worth every minute of effort!
