Hearty Beef Stroganoff with Tender Egg Noodles and Creamy Mushroom Sauce

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:

1. Start by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their juices and are browned, approximately 5 minutes.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to incorporate. This will help to thicken the sauce.
6. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
8. 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.
9. Serve the beef stroganoff over a plate of hot egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
