Ingredients
Scale
Meat & Protein
- 2 pounds beef sirloin steak, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup sour cream
Produce
- 1 medium white onion, sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
Pantry Staples
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 pound egg noodles
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain well and set aside for serving.
- Coat Beef: Toss the thin strips of beef sirloin with all-purpose flour until they are evenly coated, which helps thicken the sauce later.
- Brown Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, melt the salted butter. Add sliced onions and mushrooms, sautéing them until they become soft and golden, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Deglaze Pan: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer Beef: Return the browned beef to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Finish Sauce: Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low heat for 3 to 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally until smooth and heated through.
- Serve: Spoon the creamy beef stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade beef broth or low-sodium broth to control salt content.
- Be careful not to overcook the beef to keep it tender.
- Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest sauce, but low-fat can be substituted for a lighter dish.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds a nice color contrast and freshness but is optional.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stovetop or microwave.
