Beef stroganoff is a simple dish, but common mistakes can impact its flavor. Chef Austin Stull emphasizes the importance of including alcohol as it enriches the dish's overall taste. He recommends options like red wine, cognac, and dessert wines such as sherry or brandy, which provide a balance of sweetness and acidity. Proper timing in adding the alcohol, specifically during deglazing, is crucial to allow the flavors to meld together, resulting in a savory and hearty meal with depth.
Using alcohol is a great way to infuse aromatics into your stroganoff or any other seared beef dish.
A half cup of brandy or a dessert wine like sherry will give a pop of sweetness that will help cut through the richness of the mushroom and cream.
