Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
Cooking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Garnish and Serving:
- Fresh parsley
- Egg noodles, cooked
Instructions
- Sear the beef strips in a hot skillet with olive oil for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then transfer to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, caramelize onions and garlic until aromatic, then incorporate mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender.
- Dust the vegetable mixture with flour, stirring continuously for one minute to eliminate raw flour taste and create a light roux.
- Slowly stream beef broth into the skillet, whisking vigorously to prevent any lumpy textures and create a smooth base.
- Introduce sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, blending thoroughly to develop a rich, creamy sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and develops deep flavor.
- Reintroduce the seared beef strips to the sauce, allowing them to reheat and absorb the flavors for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the overall taste profile.
- Plate the stroganoff over warm egg noodles, creating an inviting presentation. Optional: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
Notes
- Opt for tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye to ensure melt-in-your-mouth beef that stays juicy during quick searing.
- Pat beef strips completely dry before cooking to achieve perfect golden-brown caramelization and prevent steaming.
- Use full-fat sour cream at room temperature to prevent sauce from curdling and maintain smooth, creamy consistency.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives by substituting all-purpose flour with cornstarch or using gluten-free noodles for sensitive diets.
