Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking and Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 grams) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons (16 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) white wine
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish and Side:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) wide egg noodles
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles according to package directions, then drain and reserve for later plating.
- Sear beef strips in a hot skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat, seasoning with salt and pepper until nicely browned. Transfer cooked beef to a separate plate.
- Reduce skillet heat and melt butter, then sauté onions and garlic until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until they release moisture and develop a rich golden-brown color.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux and eliminate raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour beef broth into the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Optional: incorporate white wine for additional depth of flavor.
- Simmer sauce until it thickens and reaches a creamy consistency, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and blend in sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, creating a velvety sauce.
- Reintroduce beef strips to the skillet, gently warming through and allowing flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional paprika for extra warmth.
- Plate stroganoff over prepared egg noodles and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
- Choose tender cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for the most succulent beef strips that melt in your mouth.
- Pat beef dry before cooking to ensure perfect browning and develop rich caramelized flavors.
- Slice mushrooms uniformly to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Keep sour cream at room temperature and add gradually to prevent curdling and maintain a smooth, creamy sauce.
