Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth
  • ¾ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (7-9 minutes) until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 teaspoon butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in a single layer and sear 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet. Stir in chopped onions and cook about 4 minutes until softened. Add mushrooms and garlic, cooking 5-6 minutes until mushrooms brown.
  4. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping browned bits from pan. Simmer 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine without boiling.
  6. Return beef to skillet and stir to coat with sauce. Cook 2-3 minutes until beef is cooked through and tender. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve beef stroganoff over warm egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Add sour cream off heat or on very low heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of beef broth or water. Let sauce rest off heat for flavors to meld. Slice beef thinly and sear quickly to keep tender. Caramelize mushrooms well for best flavor.
