Ingredients

  • about 680 g Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • about 225 g Cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Cashews, raw
  • 1.5 cups Water
  • 1 cup Beef broth

  • 1 tbsp Tapioca Starch
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil

  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Place the 1 cup raw cashews in a heatproof bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.
  2. 2While the cashews soak, place a 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C) with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the about 680 g beef sirloin, thinly sliced, and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  3. 3Add the about 225 g cremini mushrooms, sliced, and 1 medium onion, chopped, to the same skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are softened and the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown. Add the 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. 4Drain the soaked cashews. Place the drained cashews, 1.5 cups water, 1 tablespoon tapioca starch, and 1 teaspoon salt into a high-speed blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  5. 5Pour the cashew cream mixture into the skillet with the onions and mushrooms. Stir in 1 cup beef broth and 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat (148.9°C / 150°C) and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. 6Return the cooked about 680 g beef sirloin to the skillet. Stir everything together to coat the beef in the sauce. Let it simmer for 5 minutes more over medium-low heat (121.1°C / 120°C) until the beef is heated through.
  7. 7Season the stroganoff with 0.5 teaspoon black pepper. Serve hot, garnished with 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped.
