Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin (cut into thin strips; can substitute with flank steak)
- 1 medium onion (sliced thinly)
- 8 oz mushrooms (sliced; button or cremini work well)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for thickening)
- 1 cup beef broth (use low-sodium broth for milder flavor)
- 1 cup sour cream (provides creaminess; plain Greek yogurt can be a substitute)
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (adds depth of flavor)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)
- 8 oz egg noodles (or pasta of your choice)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the beef strips in batches, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the veggies: In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and browned slightly.
- Add garlic and flour: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to cook the flour slightly.
- Add beef broth: Gradually add the beef broth to the skillet, stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Finish the sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for a couple of minutes; do not boil.
- Combine: Return the beef to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles, and enjoy!
Notes
Slice the beef against the grain for tenderness. Don’t overcook the beef, and use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
