A rich and creamy beef stroganoff made with tender beef, savory mushrooms, and a tangy sour cream sauce served over noodles. A comforting classic perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

  • Beef Sirloin or Tenderloin – sliced thinly for tenderness
  • Onion – adds sweet aromatic depth
  • Mushrooms – earthy flavor and hearty texture
  • Garlic – enhances the savory base
  • Beef Broth – forms the foundation of the sauce
  • Dijon Mustard – provides tang and complexity
  • Worcestershire Sauce – adds deep umami richness
  • Sour Cream – gives the dish its creamy signature taste
  • Butter and Flour – creates a roux to thicken the sauce
  • Egg Noodles – traditional base for serving the sauce
  • Parsley (optional) – adds a touch of freshness and color

Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a skillet and sauté onions and garlic until softened.
  2. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and their moisture evaporates.
  3. Quickly sear sliced beef in batches over high heat, then remove from the pan.
  4. Sprinkle flour into the pan and stir to form a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in beef broth, then add Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
  7. Return beef to the pan and stir in sour cream over low heat.
  8. Serve over egg noodles or let chill for 10 minutes before storing.

Notes

  • Use full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt for best texture.
  • Slice beef against the grain for tenderness.
  • Do not boil the sauce after adding sour cream to avoid curdling.
  • Use low-sodium broth to control seasoning.
  • Freeze the sauce without sour cream and add it fresh after reheating.
