Ingredients
Scale
1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper, to taste
8 oz (225 g) wide egg noodles
Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season beef strips with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp butter and oil over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
Add remaining 1 Tbsp butter to the pan. Sauté onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until soft and browned, about 4–5 minutes.
Stir in garlic and flour, cooking for 1 minute to remove raw taste.
Pour in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low, stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and heat gently (don’t boil) until creamy.
Return beef and any juices to the pan. Stir to combine and warm through, about 2–3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve beef stroganoff over egg noodles, sprinkled with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Use a tender cut of beef and slice thinly against the grain for tenderness.
Don’t let the sauce boil once sour cream is added to prevent curdling.
For extra richness, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for part of the beef broth.
Add a splash of white wine when deglazing after flour for depth of flavor.
Make it gluten-free by using cornstarch instead of flour and GF noodles.
