Can I use yogurt instead of sour cream?

Yes, but be careful! Full-fat plain yogurt can work, but it’s more prone to curdling. Always remove the pan from heat before stirring it in. Greek yogurt is thicker and tangier, so you might need to thin it with a bit of broth.

How do I prevent curdling?

The key is temperature control. Never let the sauce boil after adding sour cream. Remove the pan from heat completely, then gently stir it in. If you’re reheating leftovers, use low heat and stir often to keep it smooth.

What’s the best cut of beef?

Tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye are my go-to. Slice them thin against the grain for maximum tenderness. If you’re on a budget, flank steak works too—just marinate it first to soften it up.
