Before cooking beef stroganoff, prepare the veggies that you need for the recipe. Take a large onion and finely chop it after peeling the skin. Then take white or brown mushrooms and slice them into thin pieces.

Moreover, take 500 grams of beef and slice it into thin strips. We are using sirloin steak for the recipe. However, you can choose between sirloin steak, beef tenderloin, or boneless rib steak.
