1 1/2poundflat iron steakcut into thin strips against the grain
1teaspoonsalt
1/4teaspoonblack pepper
1 (8 oz)package fresh sliced mushrooms(white or cremini mushrooms)
1mediumoniondiced
4clovesgarlicminced
1(32 oz)carton beef broth + water if necessary(see Note 1)
2tablespoonssoy sauce
2tablespoonsDijon mustard
1poundmostaccioli(or extra wide egg noodles) (see Note 2)
1cupsour cream
1bunch fresh parsleychopped (optional)
Instructions
Prepare your campfire or camp stove for cooking.
Prep the veggies and slice the meat.
Heat a 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven over the medium-high heat of a campfire or camp stove.
Add the oil to the pot.
Season the steak with salt and pepper then add it to the Dutch oven stirring to sear all sides.
Remove the meat from the pot and set aside, covered to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and saute the mushrooms and onion a bit, then add the minced garlic and cook till softened.
Now, add the beef broth, soy sauce and mustard to the Dutch oven and increase the heat to high, cover and bring to boil, stirring occasionally.
Once the liquid is boiling, add the pasta, stirring occasionally until the pasta is cooked to your desired tenderness. The cooking time will probably take a little longer than package directions indicate.
Add the meat back to the Dutch oven, stirring to mix all of the ingredients together.
Temper the sour cream by adding small amounts of the hot mixture to it while stirring, you are slowly warming up the sour cream so when you add it to the Dutch oven, it does not curdle.
Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and slowly stir in the sour cream until it is incorporated.
Top with parsley, if desired, and serve.
Notes
If there is not enough liquid to finish cooking the pasta, add some water, as necessary. You just want enough liquid to cook the pasta, you don't want to have to drain any liquid from the pot after the pasta is finished cooking.
A traditional one-pot beef stroganoff recipe uses egg noodles but I'm using mostaccioli for a heartier meal. If you substitute egg noodles, your cooking time will be reduced.
