If you’re a fan of comfort food or a hearty meal, then you must try beef stroganoff! This dish is traditionally made with tender strips of beef, sour cream, and mushrooms.

But what really sets this meal apart is the rich and savory flavor. The combination of the beef and sour cream creates a creamy and tangy sauce that perfectly complements the earthy flavors of the mushrooms.

You’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 pound of top sirloin, cut into thin strips
• salt and pepper, to season the steak
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• ⅓ cup of chopped onion
• ¾ pound of mushrooms, sliced thick
• 2 teaspoons of minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons of flour
• 1½ cups of beef broth
• 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
• ½ tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup of sour cream
• 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked according to package directions

Substitutions And Additions

MUSHROOMS: You can use fresh or canned mushrooms for this easy recipe. You can also change up the variety of mushrooms you use. White mushrooms work fine but what about cremini mushrooms? If you are not a fan of mushrooms, you can certainly leave them out.

Use a clean, damp, soft cloth or a dampened paper towel and gently wipe the dirt off of the mushrooms. Don’t rinse mushrooms under running water.

NOODLES: If you want to skip the egg noodles, you can also serve this over creamy mashed potatoes or rice.

BEEF: This recipe calls for top sirloin steak cut into thin strips. We’ve found this to be the best cut of meat because it’s easy to lock in its juicy flavor with a quick sear. The beef in this recipe sears for about a minute, so you’ll want a cut of steak that’s thin and quick to cook.

Other similar cuts of meat that are still tasty include boneless ribeye, beef tenderloin, or Filet Mignon tips.

SOUR CREAM: Greek yogurt would work just as well as the sour cream in this delicious recipe.

How To Make This Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Once you cook the beef, the creamy sauce comes together in the same pan to take advantage of all the leftover flavored oil. Let’s get cooking.

STEP ONE: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef strips with salt and pepper. Once the oil is heated, add the strips of steak and cook beef for less than a minute on each side just to get a quick sear.

Do this in batches to not crowd the skillet. Remove the meat to a platter and cover it with foil to keep the meat warm.

STEP TWO: Reduce the heat in the skillet to medium. Add the butter to the skillet, then sauté the onions, mushrooms, and garlic until tender.

STEP THREE: Sprinkle the flour over the bottom of the pan and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.

STEP FOUR: Gradually add the beef broth.

STEP FIVE: Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and sour cream until blended. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 5 to 7 minutes to thicken the sauce.

STEP SIX: Return the beef to the skillet along with all the juices on the plate and simmer for one minute. Remove from the heat and serve over cooked egg noodles.

How To Serve This Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Serve this delicious, hearty dish with a Caesar salad and dinner rolls on the side to scoop up all that tasty gravy.

As an alternative to noodles, a side of buttery mashed potatoes or fluffy rice would be a perfect accompaniment to this hearty meal.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even whip up some garlic bread or roasted vegetables, bringing even more flavors and textures to the table.

1x2x3x

• 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked
• 1 pound top sirloin, cut into thin strips
• salt and pepper, for seasoning the steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ¾ pound mushrooms, sliced thick
• ⅓ cup onion, chopped
• 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1½ cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup sour cream

Instructions

 

• Cook the pasta per package directions, drain and keep warm.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium/high heat. Once the oil is heated, add the strips of steak seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook for less than a minute on each side just to get a quick sear. Do this in batches to not crowd the skillet.
• Remove the meat to a platter and keep it warm (cover with foil). Reduce the heat in the skillet to medium.
• Add the butter to the skillet then saute the onions, mushrooms, and garlic until tender.
• Sprinkle the flour over the pan and cook for one minute stirring constantly.
• Gradually add the beef broth.
• Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and sour cream until blended. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 5 to 7 minutes to thicken the sauce.
• Return the beef to the skillet along with all the juices on the plate and simmer for one minute. Remove from heat and serve over egg noodles.

Notes

• Searing the beef first helps to lock in moisture and flavor giving you tender, juicy meat for your dish.
• If you find your sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water to thin it out a little bit.
• Store your stroganoff sauce and noodles separately to help preserve their texture and flavor.
