Classic Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Stroganoff:

• 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1 cup beef broth

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 12 oz egg noodles, cooked

Instructions:

1. Sear the Beef – In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, sear until browned, then remove from the pan.

2. Sauté the Veggies – Reduce heat to medium, melt butter in the same pan, and add onions, garlic, and mushrooms. Sauté until tender.

3. Create the Sauce – Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and flour, mixing well. Slowly pour in beef broth, stirring continuously until thickened.

4. Add the Beef & Sour Cream – Return the seared beef to the pan, lower heat, and stir in sour cream. Simmer until heated through.

5. Serve & Enjoy – Spoon the creamy stroganoff over warm egg noodles and enjoy a meal that feels just like home.
