Ingredients
Scale
Beef
- 1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into thin strips
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Vegetables & Sauce
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
To Serve
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Egg noodles or rice, cooked (according to package instructions)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Season the beef strips with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to get it hot and ready for searing.
- Cook the Beef: Add the beef strips in a single layer to the skillet. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust but are not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Cook the Vegetables: Using the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to brown and release their moisture completely.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the Dijon mustard, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Return the partially cooked beef strips to the skillet and heat through for 2-3 minutes without boiling, ensuring the beef is tender and the sauce coats everything evenly.
- Serve: Meanwhile, prepare egg noodles or rice according to package instructions. Serve the creamy beef stroganoff over the noodles or rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright finish. Enjoy your delicious Beef Stroganoff!
Notes
- Be careful not to overcook the beef strips during searing to keep them tender.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier taste and lighter option.
- For gluten-free, ensure Worcestershire sauce and beef broth are gluten-free certified.
- Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor; cremini or button mushrooms work well.
- Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over low heat; add a splash of broth if the sauce thickens too much.
