Steak Stroganoff

Ingredients for Steak Stroganoff

• 450g boneless New York strip steak, patted dry

• 45ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided, plus more

• 450g wild mushrooms, such as oyster or maitake, torn into pieces

• 4 garlic cloves, crushed

• 350g wide egg noodles

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

• 2 tablespoons fresh. lemon juice

• 45ml brandy

• 120ml double cream

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1/2 cup soured cream

• 1/2 cup torn dill

Heat a dry 10" skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Rub steak with 1 tablespoon oil, then season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Cook, turning every 2 minutes and making sure to get colour on the fat cap, until browned on all sides and medium-rare (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should register 49°C), 10–15 minutes. Transfer steak to a plate. Pour off oil from skillet, leaving crispy bits behind.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and beginning to crisp, 6–8 minutes. Add garlic, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper, and continue to cook until mushrooms are well browned and garlic is fragrant, 3–4 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain and return to pot. Add butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Stir brandy and 120ml water in a small bowl. Add to mushroom mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then add cream, Worcestershire, and mustard and stir to combine. The heat of the pan will reduce and thicken the sauce slightly—if it doesn’t, cook over medium-low heat for about 1 minute. Stir in soured cream until combined and warmed through.

Slice steak against the grain into 1/2"-thick slices. Divide noodles among plates. Top with steak, creamed mushrooms, and dill, then season with a few cranks of pepper.
