Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (1 lb) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Noodles and Sauce Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (12 oz) egg noodles, cooked and drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Sear beef slices in hot olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown, creating a rich caramelized exterior. Season generously with salt and pepper during cooking.
- Remove beef from skillet and let rest while preparing the sauce base, preserving the meat’s juicy texture.
- In the same skillet, sauté onions and mushrooms until they release their moisture and become translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook briefly to enhance its aromatic qualities, releasing its intense flavor without burning.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetable mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth roux that will thicken the sauce and eliminate raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour beef broth into the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent lumps and create a silky, uniform sauce.
- Reduce heat and gently incorporate sour cream and Dijon mustard, allowing the sauce to simmer and develop complex flavors for 5 minutes.
- Carefully return beef slices to the skillet, coating each piece with the creamy sauce to ensure maximum flavor absorption.
- Serve immediately over warm egg noodles, creating a comforting and elegant main course.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and additional herbal note.
Notes
- Choose lean beef cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture that enhances the overall dish quality.
- Pat beef dry before cooking to ensure proper browning and develop rich caramelized flavors that elevate the stroganoff’s taste profile.
- Use full-fat sour cream for a luxurious, creamy sauce that provides authentic richness and smooth consistency.
- Swap egg noodles with gluten-free alternatives like zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for low-carb or celiac-friendly options without compromising delicious flavor.
