Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Sauce

  • 1 pound beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Noodles

  • 12 ounces egg noodles (or your choice of base)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain the noodles and set them aside for serving.
  2. Sear the Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until nicely browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside to retain its juices.
  3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, stirring to prevent burning.
  4. Add the Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and develop a nice brown color, which adds depth to the sauce.
  5. Thicken with Flour: Sprinkle the tablespoon of all-purpose flour over the vegetables, stirring thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Cook this mixture for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste and help thicken the sauce later.
  6. Add Broth and Worcestershire Sauce: Gradually pour in the beef broth along with the Worcestershire sauce while stirring continuously. This will create a flavorful sauce base that thickens as it cooks.
  7. Incorporate the Sour Cream: Reduce the heat to low to prevent curdling, then stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes to let the flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Return the Beef: Add the seared beef strips back into the skillet, mixing well to coat them evenly with the creamy sauce. Heat through for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the beef is tender but not overcooked.
  9. Serve Immediately: Plate the cooked noodles and spoon the beef stroganoff sauce over them, or serve the sauce alongside the noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

  • For leaner beef options, sirloin is preferred, but ribeye or tenderloin can also be used for extra tenderness.
  • Be sure to lower the heat before adding sour cream to avoid curdling and maintain a smooth sauce.
  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter alternative, but add it off the heat.
  • Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor; button or cremini mushrooms work well.
  • Egg noodles are traditional, but any wide pasta or even mashed potatoes can be served as a base.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
