Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds beef sirloin steak sliced into thin strips
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pound egg noodles
  • 1 medium white onion sliced
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice the sirloin against the grain and into thin strips. Dust with the flour to coat. Set aside.
  2. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and mushrooms. Sauté until tender, about 7 minutes, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Without cleaning the skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and cook until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Return the onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Add the sour cream and Dijon and stir until incorporated. Add the cooked egg noodles, stir to combine, and then season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve hot over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or cooked rice.

Notes

  • Steak Options: The secret to making the best beef stroganoff is the cut and quality of meat used. Look for a cut with a nice amount of marbled fat throughout. Boneless ribeye and beef tenderloin are two great cuts of meat if you want to experiment with something other than beef sirloin steak. Ground Beef Variation: To replace steak with ground beef, simply brown in a skillet until cooked through, then drain the excess fat. Add in the flour and cook until dissolved, about 2 minutes, before proceeding with the rest of the recipe. Serving Variations: Not everyone loves egg noodles, and that’s okay! Your favorite type of pasta, mashed potatoes or rice would all work well. Looking for a healthier option? Try zucchini noodles or mashed cauliflower.
