How to Make Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff
1. Cook the Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sear the Beef
Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear for 1–2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Mushrooms and Onion
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes, until softened and lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Make the Sauce
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Add the Beef and Sour Cream
Reduce the heat to low. Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the sour cream. Cook gently for 2–3 minutes until heated through. Avoid boiling the sauce.
6. Serve
Toss the creamy beef and mushroom mixture with the cooked egg noodles or spoon it over the noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff
- Slice the beef thinly against the grain for a tender texture.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet when searing the beef.
- Use full-fat sour cream for a richer sauce.
- Keep the heat low after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Add a splash of beef broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
