Ingredients
- 1 lb, sliced into 1/2-inch strips beef sirloin
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 8 oz, sliced white mushrooms
- 3, minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 12 oz egg noodles
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped, for garnish fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 oz egg noodles and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- Step 2: While noodles cook, heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb sliced beef sirloin and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until browned but not fully cooked, then transfer beef to a plate.
- Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp butter and sauté 1 medium diced yellow onion and 8 oz sliced white mushrooms for 5-6 minutes until soft and golden. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 4: Sprinkle 2 tbsp all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat, cooking for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
- Step 5: Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups beef broth and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, stirring constantly until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 6: Return the browned beef along with any juices to the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and stir in 3/4 cup sour cream, heating gently for 2 minutes without boiling.
- Step 7: Serve the beef stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
