Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz (225 g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) beef broth
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) sour cream, full-fat
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • 8 oz (225 g) wide egg noodles or pasta of choice, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. Pat the sliced beef dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the beef in a single layer and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining beef.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add remaining butter, then sauté chopped onion and sliced mushrooms for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  5. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and sour cream until smooth. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
  7. Return seared beef to the skillet and warm through gently for 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. Serve the creamy beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when searing beef to ensure proper browning. Add sour cream off the heat or on very low heat to prevent curdling. If sauce thickens too much, loosen with additional broth or water. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and pasta alternatives. Greek yogurt can substitute sour cream if stirred in off heat.
