Ingredients
- 1 lb, thinly sliced into strips sirloin steak
- 8 oz, sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 oz egg noodles and cook for 7-8 minutes until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and bubbling. Add 1 lb thinly sliced sirloin steak strips and 1/2 tsp salt, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until browned but still tender, then remove beef to a plate.
- Step 3: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp butter and sauté 1 medium diced yellow onion and 3 minced garlic cloves for 4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
- Step 4: Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until softened and browned.
- Step 5: Sprinkle 2 tbsp all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to cook the flour.
- Step 6: Gradually pour in 2 cups beef broth while stirring constantly, bringing the mixture to a simmer until it thickens, about 3 minutes.
- Step 7: Lower heat and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy. Return the beef and any juices to the skillet, heating through for 2 minutes without boiling.
- Step 8: Season with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then serve the stroganoff over the hot egg noodles, garnished with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
