Why does sous vide beff stroganoff take so long?
I get it. 48 hours is a LONG cook time. But what is the saying about things that come to those who wait? That is so true when it comes to sous vide coking. The lower temperature, a controlled temperature, will allow the beef to cook and the connective tissue of the beef to slowly break down with out compromising the integrity of the texture of the beef. It is like the slow cooker version of this recipe but lower, slower, more controlled and better.
The spikes in heat that comes with stove top cooking or slow cooker cooking can cause the meat to seize and toughen up with a spike in temperature. With the water being maintained at 131 the meat will not rise above that temperature. It can’t. The time that the ingredients are in the temperature zone is extended and they are able to marry or infuse flavors more naturally.

How to brown mushrooms for beef stroganoff?
Mushrooms can be amazing and full of flavor or they can be mushy and soggy. We want amazing mushrooms full of flavor and color. Here is how to get both.
- In a heavy bottom skillet or dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons butter to foaming and place mushrooms, cut side down in the pan.
- Do not flip or move the mushrooms for about five minutes, or until they start to sweat and brown on the underside. DO NOT POKE THE MUSHROOMS.

What is the best way to sear beef for beef stroganoff?
Getting a good sear on the beef for beef stroganoff is key to a good flavor profile for your dish. Taking a few extra minutes to caramelize the surface of the meat versus string it to get it grey in color will produce such an amazing flavor, you will thank yourself.
- Trim off excess fat from the steak and cut into bite sized pieces. Remove excess moisture with paper towels.
- Add 2-4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet or dutch oven warm over moderately high heat.
- The butter will start to foam and you will know the butter is ready.

- This will take a full 2-3 minutes
- Flip once and cook for an additional minute. Do not over cook the beef because it will continue to cook when you add it back to the pan later in the recipe.
