Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 8 ounces (225 g) white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (can substitute with cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 8 ounces (225 g) egg noodles or pasta, cooked

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Thinly slice beef against the grain, clean and slice mushrooms, finely chop onion, and mince garlic. Have beef broth, Dijon mustard, and sour cream ready.
  2. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (7-9 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  3. Sear the beef: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef in a single layer and cook 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. Sauté the veggies: Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onion and cook about 3 minutes until softened. Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes until browned. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Make the sauce: Sprinkle flour over veggies and stir well, cooking about 1 minute. Gradually pour in beef broth, whisking to combine and prevent lumps.
  6. Add flavor: Stir in Dijon mustard, return beef and juices to skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 5 minutes to finish cooking beef and thicken sauce.
  7. Finish with sour cream: Remove skillet from heat and gently stir in sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve: Spoon beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Brown beef in batches to avoid overcrowding. Let mushrooms brown properly for deep flavor. Add sour cream off heat to prevent curdling. Adjust sauce thickness by adding broth or simmering longer. Variations include low-carb, mushroom-free, spicy, and dairy-free options.
