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

  1. Prepare egg noodles according to package directions, then drain and reserve for later plating.
  2. 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.
  3. Reduce skillet heat and melt butter, then sauté onions and garlic until they become translucent and fragrant.
  4. Add mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until they release moisture and develop a rich golden-brown color.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux and eliminate raw flour taste.
  6. Slowly pour beef broth into the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Optional: incorporate white wine for additional depth of flavor.
  7. Simmer sauce until it thickens and reaches a creamy consistency, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  8. Reduce heat to low and blend in sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, creating a velvety sauce.
  9. Reintroduce beef strips to the skillet, gently warming through and allowing flavors to meld together.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional paprika for extra warmth.
  11. 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.
