Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
- 2 tbsp flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Egg noodles, cooked, for serving
Instructions
- Sauté the Beef:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef strips and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until browned.
- Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the garlic and mushrooms and sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Sauce:
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and onion mixture, stirring well to coat.
- Slowly add the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Finish the Sauce:
- Lower the heat and return the cooked beef to the skillet.
- Stir in the sour cream and heavy cream (if using) until well combined and heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Serve the Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color.
Tips:
- For a lighter version, you can substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer to reduce and intensify the flavors.
- You can also use ground beef for a quicker, more economical version.
