Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into thin strips
Aromatics and Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 tablespoon flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Pasta:
- 8 oz (225 g) egg noodles or pasta of choice
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Elevate a large skillet or pot to medium-high heat, drizzle with olive oil, and sear beef strips until golden brown and caramelized. Transfer the meat to a separate plate, preserving those flavorful drippings.
- In the same cooking vessel, introduce chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Allow them to dance and soften, developing rich caramelized edges. Introduce minced garlic and paprika, stirring until an aromatic fragrance emerges.
- Dust vegetables with flour, creating a light coating that will transform into a velvety sauce. Gently stream beef broth, whisking methodically to eliminate potential lumps. Incorporate Worcestershire sauce and let the mixture simmer, gradually thickening and developing depth.
- Reintroduce the seared beef into the simmering sauce, along with accumulated juices. Swirl in sour cream and Dijon mustard, creating a luxurious, creamy coating. Allow everything to meld together, ensuring beef reaches optimal tenderness.
- Simultaneously, prepare egg noodles in a separate pot according to package guidance. Once perfectly cooked, drain and fold into the stroganoff, ensuring each noodle becomes enrobed in the luscious sauce.
- Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley across the dish, creating a vibrant garnish that adds visual appeal and subtle herbaceous notes. Serve immediately, presenting a comforting classic that promises warmth and satisfaction.
Notes
- Achieve the perfect beef texture by patting the meat dry before browning, ensuring a crispy exterior and preventing steaming.
- Select full-fat sour cream for a richer, more luxurious sauce that coats the noodles beautifully without separating.
- Use white button or cremini mushrooms for traditional flavor, but experiment with wild mushroom varieties for an earthy depth.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with cornstarch and using gluten-free pasta or serving over cauliflower rice.
