Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pounds (454 grams) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
Noodles and Thickeners:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 12 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles according to package directions, ensuring they are al dente. Carefully drain and reserve.
- Season beef generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Sear meat in a hot skillet with olive oil until a rich golden-brown crust develops, creating deep flavor layers.
- Transfer browned beef to a separate plate, keeping meat juices in the pan for enhanced sauce development.
- In the same skillet, caramelize onions and mushrooms until they release their natural moisture and achieve a golden appearance. Introduce minced garlic and quickly sauté to unlock aromatic notes.
- Dust the vegetable mixture with flour, stirring continuously to create a subtle roux that will thicken the sauce naturally.
- Slowly stream beef broth into the skillet, whisking methodically to prevent any potential lumps from forming. Incorporate Worcestershire sauce for additional depth.
- Allow sauce to gently simmer and reduce, concentrating flavors and achieving a silky consistency.
- Reduce heat and fold in smooth, creamy sour cream, creating a luxurious sauce texture. Reintroduce seared beef, allowing it to warm through and meld with sauce.
- Plate by elegantly draping the beef stroganoff over prepared egg noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Customize the beef cut by choosing tender cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for the most melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Control the sauce thickness by adjusting flour quantity, ensuring a silky smooth consistency without becoming too heavy.
- Make the dish gluten-free by substituting regular flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend, maintaining the same creamy texture.
- Enhance the flavor profile by adding a splash of white wine or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard during the sauce preparation for extra depth and complexity.
