Ingredients

Scale

Primary Protein:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) sirloin steak (sliced into bite-sized strips)

Seasoning and Flour:

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce

Cooking Components and Aromatics:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 8 ounces (226 grams) button mushrooms (sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 16 ounces (473 milliliters) low-sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
  • 20 ounces (567 grams) egg noodles
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil a generously salted pot of water and cook egg noodles until perfectly tender, then drain and reserve for later plating.
  2. Create a seasoned coating by blending flour, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, thoroughly coating each steak strip and setting aside any remaining flour mixture.
  3. Ignite a skillet over medium-high heat, introducing olive oil to rapidly sear beef strips, achieving a rich golden-brown exterior on each side. Transfer browned meat to a separate dish.
  4. Reduce skillet temperature and melt butter, introducing onions to soften and become translucent, releasing their subtle sweetness.
  5. Incorporate sliced mushrooms and minced garlic into the onion landscape, sautéing briefly to enhance their aromatic qualities.
  6. Dust remaining flour across the vegetable medley, then slowly stream beef broth while continuously stirring to prevent clumping. Introduce Dijon mustard, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce, creating a velvety sauce that gradually thickens.
  7. Reintroduce seared steak strips into the sauce, allowing them to warm and meld with the rich, creamy environment.
  8. Remove skillet from heat and gently fold in sour cream, creating a luxurious, silky texture.
  9. Cascade the robust stroganoff over steaming egg noodles, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.

Notes

  • Precision matters when coating beef strips, ensuring a golden exterior that locks in succulent flavors and creates delightful texture contrasts.
  • Sour cream introduces a luxurious silkiness, balancing the robust beef and transforming the sauce into a creamy, indulgent experience that’ll make everyone at the table swoon.
