Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth, preferably low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 8 ounces egg noodles or pasta, cooked separately or alongside

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice 1 pound of sirloin beef across the grain into bite-sized strips. Clean and slice 8 ounces of mushrooms. Finely chop 1 medium onion and mince 3 garlic cloves. Measure out broth, sour cream, and other ingredients.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter foams, add beef strips in a single layer. Brown without stirring for 2 minutes, then toss and cook 3 more minutes until just browned. Remove beef to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms; cook until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over mushrooms and onions, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out raw flour taste. Slowly pour in 2 cups beef broth while stirring, scraping pan to release browned bits. Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and stir until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Return browned beef and juices to pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes until beef finishes cooking and flavors meld. Avoid overcooking to keep beef tender.
  6. Remove pan from heat and stir in 1 cup sour cream until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
  7. Serve creamy beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or preferred pasta immediately.

Notes

To save time, cook noodles while prepping ingredients. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen. Avoid overcrowding pan when searing beef to prevent steaming. Use full-fat sour cream for best texture and add off heat if substituting with Greek yogurt to prevent curdling. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch or gluten-free blend and use gluten-free pasta.
