Instructions
- Step 1: Season steak strips with 1 tsp salt and pepper, then toss with flour until lightly coated.
- Step 2: Heat oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over high heat. Sear beef strips in a single layer, 1-2 minutes per side, working in batches to avoid crowding. Remove to a plate.
- Step 3: Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tbsp butter and cook onion for 5 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize. Add mushrooms and cook 6-7 minutes until golden and most moisture has evaporated. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Step 4: Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook 4 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Step 5: Return beef strips to the skillet. Cover and braise over low heat for 10 minutes until tender.
- Step 6: Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and fresh dill. Do not let sauce boil after adding sour cream or it may curdle. Taste and adjust salt.
- Step 7: Meanwhile, cook egg noodles per package directions, drain, and toss with 2 tbsp butter and remaining 1/2 tsp salt.
- Step 8: Serve stroganoff over buttered noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.
