Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin
Vegetables:
- 8 ounces mushrooms
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Pasta:
- 8 ounces egg noodles
Instructions
- Sear beef strips in a large pot over medium-high heat until golden brown and caramelized, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce diced onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms to the pot, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and release their aromatic flavors.
- Pour in rich beef broth, tangy Dijon mustard, and savory Worcestershire sauce, creating a robust liquid base that will infuse the dish with depth.
- Gently nestle egg noodles into the simmering liquid, allowing them to cook and absorb the flavorful broth for 8-10 minutes until perfectly al dente.
- Reduce heat to low and fold in creamy sour cream, stirring carefully to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth, velvety texture throughout the dish.
- Season generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, tasting and adjusting seasoning as needed for a balanced flavor profile.
- Let the stroganoff rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld and sauce to thicken slightly before serving hot.
- Optional: Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Notes
- Opt for lean beef cuts like sirloin or tenderloin to reduce fat and keep the dish tender and flavorful.
- Brown meat in small batches to ensure proper caramelization and prevent steaming, which maintains rich, deep flavor profiles.
- Choose low-sodium beef broth to control salt content and allow more precise seasoning during cooking.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives like zucchini noodles or rice noodles for those with wheat sensitivities.
