Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 lb (454 g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 12 oz (340 g) egg noodles
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups (470 ml) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles according to package directions at a rolling boil, ensuring they reach an al dente texture. Drain thoroughly and reserve.
- Sear beef strips in a hot skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and caramelized, approximately 3-4 minutes. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- Reduce skillet heat and melt butter, creating a fragrant base for sautéing diced onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms until vegetables soften and release their natural moisture, about 5-6 minutes.
- Dust vegetable mixture with flour, stirring continuously to create a smooth roux that will help thicken the sauce without lumps.
- Gradually pour beef broth into the skillet, whisking consistently to incorporate and prevent clumping. Allow sauce to simmer and reduce, thickening to a velvety consistency.
- Lower heat and gently fold in sour cream, creating a rich, creamy texture. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Return seared beef to the skillet, coating evenly with the creamy sauce and warming through for 2-3 minutes.
- Plate the stroganoff over the prepared egg noodles, ensuring each serving gets a generous portion of meat and sauce.
Notes
- Boost beef flavor by using high-quality beef cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for more tender and juicy results.
- Prevent sauce separation by tempering sour cream with a small amount of hot sauce before adding to the skillet, ensuring smooth and creamy texture.
- Make the dish gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend and using gluten-free egg noodles.
- Enhance dish’s depth by adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a tablespoon of Dijon mustard during sauce preparation for extra richness and complexity.
