Ingredients
Scale
Beef:
- 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced into strips
Mushrooms:
- 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
Sauce:
- 1 cup sour cream or heavy cream
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Pasta:
- 8 ounces egg noodles or pasta of choice
Instructions
- Prepare the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and sear until browned on all sides but not fully cooked through. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics and mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt butter and add chopped onions and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release moisture and brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Create the sauce base: Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in the beef broth, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
- Simmer the stroganoff: Return the beef to the skillet and stir in Dijon mustard. Lower the heat and add sour cream or heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors and fully cook the beef. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Plate the cooked pasta and spoon the beef stroganoff sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use tender cuts of beef like sirloin or tenderloin for best results.
- Do not overcook the beef to keep it tender and juicy.
- For a richer sauce, sour cream is recommended but heavy cream can be used for a milder taste.
- Egg noodles are traditional but any pasta can substitute.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper gradually to suit your taste.
