INGREDIENTS

For the Beef Stroganoff:
1 pound beef sirloin, cut into thin strips
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 cup beef broth
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
For Serving:
8 ounces egg noodles, cooked and drained
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

PREPARATION STEPS

Prepare the Beef:
Season the beef strips with salt and pepper. Toss them in flour until evenly coated—this will help create a rich, thick sauce later.
Brown the Beef:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and sear until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, sauté the onions for about 3 minutes, until softened
Add the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden, about 5 minutes.
Make the Sauce:
Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added depth of flavor
Reduce the heat to low, then whisk in the sour cream and Dijon mustard until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Combine and Simmer:
Return the browned beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve:
Spoon the luscious beef stroganoff over a bed of warm, buttery egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley for an extra pop of flavor and color.
Pro Tips:
Tender Beef Every Time: Sirloin or tenderloin works best for a melt-in-your-mouth experience. Avoid overcooking to keep the beef juicy.
Silky Smooth Sauce: When adding sour cream, keep the heat low to prevent curdling.
Meal Prep Win: Prepare in advance for even deeper flavors. Reheat gently on low heat for a quick dinner.
