Ingredients

For the beef stroganoff filling

• 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the sandwiches

• 12 mini slider buns (or dinner rolls)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (optional, cheddar or Swiss are great choices)

Instructions

1. Cook the beef: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

2. Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion, garlic, and mushrooms until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

   🥄 Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to ensure even cooking.

3. Make the sauce: Return the beef to the skillet and add Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and Dijon mustard. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Finish with sour cream: Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream until smooth. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

5. Assemble the sandwiches: Cut each slider bun in half. Spoon a generous amount of the beef stroganoff mix onto the bottom half of each bun and top with cheese if desired.

6. Optional step for melty cheese: Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted and begins to bubble.

7. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and place the top half of the buns on the sliders. Serve warm!

🧊 Keep the stroganoff filling warm in a slow cooker if serving at a buffet-style gathering to maintain optimal flavor and texture.

Variations

• Spicy: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños to the beef mixture for a spicy kick! 🌶️
• Vegetarian: Substitute the beef with sautéed lentils or tempeh for a heartier vegetarian option, maintaining the same sauce for the creamy taste.
• Whole Wheat: Use whole wheat slider buns for a healthier twist on the bread!
• Herb Infusion: Experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary in the sauce for extra aroma and flavor.
