Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) beef sirloin, thinly sliced into strips
Pasta and Starch:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) egg noodles
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Liquid and Dairy Components:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles according to package directions, ensuring they are al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Season beef strips with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and caramelized. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions, garlic, and mushrooms until they release their moisture and become tender, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetable mixture, stirring continuously for 60 seconds to create a roux and eliminate raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, whisking to prevent lumps. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken and develops a rich consistency.
- Reduce heat to low and gently incorporate sour cream, creating a creamy, smooth sauce. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
- Return beef strips to the skillet, coating them in the sauce and heating for an additional 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
- Plate the beef stroganoff over prepared egg noodles, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.
Notes
- Choose lean beef cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for tender, flavorful stroganoff that melts in your mouth.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet when searing beef to ensure perfect golden-brown caramelization and prevent steaming.
- For a lighter version, substitute full-fat sour cream with Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream without compromising rich flavor.
- Replace beef with hearty mushrooms like portobello or cremini for a delicious meat-free alternative that maintains the classic creamy texture.
