Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish renowned for its heartiness and rich flavors. This recipe includes tender strips of beef cooked in a creamy mushroom sauce, served over a bed of egg noodles. The robust and savory combination is perfect for a comforting meal that’s sure to satisfy.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Start by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the meat is browned on all sides. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Then, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their juices and are browned, approximately 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to incorporate. This will help to thicken the sauce.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked beef strips back into the skillet, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the beef stroganoff over a plate of hot egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
