Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for noodles, optional)
  • Salt (for pasta water)

Instructions

  1. Slice beef sirloin or tenderloin across the grain into thin strips (about 1/2 inch thick). Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions (7-8 minutes) until just tender. Drain and toss with butter if desired. Set aside, covered.
  3. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove beef to a plate.
  4. In the same pan, add remaining butter. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes until browned and juices are released. Stir in garlic for the last 30 seconds.
  5. Sprinkle flour over onions and mushrooms. Stir constantly for 1 minute. Pour in beef broth, stirring and scraping up browned bits. Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in sour cream until fully blended and smooth.
  7. Return seared beef and any juices to the pan. Simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until beef is cooked through and sauce is thickened. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve stroganoff over buttery egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Dry beef before searing for best browning. Add sour cream over low heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth; if too thin, simmer uncovered. For gluten-free, use GF flour and noodles. Store sauce and noodles separately for best leftovers.
