Description

Rich beef stroganoff brings Russian comfort to your dinner table with tender strips of beef and creamy sauce nestled over perfectly cooked egg noodles. Hearty flavors meld together, creating a satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) egg noodles, cooked and drained

Vegetables and Aromatics:

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces (227 grams) mushrooms, sliced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Seasonings and Liquid Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sizzle beef slices in a hot skillet with olive oil until golden brown and caramelized, creating a rich exterior. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
  2. In the same skillet, transform onions and garlic into a fragrant base, releasing their aromatic essence.
  3. Incorporate mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and become tender, developing deep earthy flavors.
  4. Dust the vegetable mixture with flour, creating a light coating that will help thicken the sauce and provide a subtle nutty undertone.
  5. Slowly introduce beef broth while continuously stirring, ensuring a smooth texture without any unwanted lumps.
  6. Allow the sauce to gently simmer and reduce, concentrating its robust flavors and creating a velvety consistency.
  7. Lower the heat and fold in sour cream and Dijon mustard, which will add tangy complexity and creamy richness to the sauce.
  8. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, carefully balancing the overall taste profile.
  9. Return the seared beef to the skillet, allowing it to warm through and absorb the luxurious sauce.
  10. Plate the stroganoff over warm egg noodles, creating a comforting and elegant dish.
  11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and fresh herbaceous note.

Notes

  • Tenderize beef by slicing against the grain for maximum softness and easier chewing.
  • Use full-fat sour cream to create a richer, more luxurious sauce with better consistency and depth of flavor.
  • Select wide egg noodles as they capture sauce better and provide a more traditional stroganoff experience.
  • Swap beef with mushrooms or plant-based protein for vegetarian and vegan diet adaptations, ensuring similar texture and umami flavor profile.
