Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by browning batches of flour-coated thinly sliced sirloin, preserving juices and creating a fond for flavor. Mushrooms and chopped onions sauté with spices until mushrooms reduce, then the pan is deglazed with sherry. A slurry of flour, beef broth, and Dijon mustard creates a thickened sauce that simmers gently.
Fresh baby spinach, frozen peas, plain Greek yogurt, and butter are stirred in for creaminess and fresh vegetable notes, blending textures and flavors uniquely in this stroganoff. Scallions add mild sharpness. The beef is returned to the pan briefly to meld with the sauce.
This hearty mixture is served over cooked egg noodles lightly buttered to prevent sticking, rounding out the dish with a tender, slightly chewy base. It is suitable for a filling main course, balancing meat, vegetables, and a creamy sauce with a subtle wine undertone.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil , divided
- 1.5 pounds top sirloin , trimmed and thinly sliced across the grain

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Deglaze the skillet with the sherry, scraping up all of the browned bits.
- Add the mushrooms, onion, pepper, salt and paprika allowing to brown and mushrooms reduce by half for 3-4 minutes.
- Combine 1/4 cup of the beef broth with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and Dijon mustard, whisking until smooth. Add the broth slurry and remaining beef broth to the pan. Reduce to a low heat and bring to a simmer. Stir continuously and scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- When the mixture coats the back of a spoon, stir in the spinach, peas, yogurt, butter and scallions. When combined, add beef back to mixture, tossing to coat. Heat for 2 minutes.
- Spoon the beef mixture over the cooked egg noodles and top with chopped parsley.
