Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef & Sauce:

  • 1 ½ lbs beef sirloin or ribeye, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional, for warmth)

For Serving:

  • 12 oz egg noodles, cooked
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

  1. Season beef strips with salt and black pepper.
  2. Lightly coat with flour, shaking off excess.

Step 2: Sear the Beef

  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add beef strips and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. In the same skillet, add onions and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

  1. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir to deglaze the pan.
  2. Simmer for 5 minutes, letting the sauce reduce slightly.

Step 5: Finish with Sour Cream

  1. Lower the heat and stir in sour cream and paprika. Mix until smooth.
  2. Return the beef to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes until warmed through.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Spoon the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use High-Quality Beef – Sirloin or ribeye ensures tender, flavorful meat.
  • Don’t Overcook the Beef – Sear quickly and return to the sauce at the end to keep it juicy.
  • Use Full-Fat Sour Cream – For the creamiest, richest sauce.
  • Make It Extra Thick – Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water if you prefer a thicker sauce.
