Ingredients

• For the Beef Stroganoff:
• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (white button or cremini)
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup sour cream (full-fat for the best texture)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• For the Egg Noodles:
• 12 oz egg noodles
• 1 tablespoon butter (to toss with the noodles)

Preparation Method

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat and sear thinly sliced beef sirloin in batches for 3 to 4 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté diced onion for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

3. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they release moisture.

4. Pour beef broth into the skillet, stir to deglaze, and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and pepper.

5. Return the seared beef to the skillet, stir to coat, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.

6. Cook egg noodles in salted boiling water according to package instructions, drain, and toss with 1 tablespoon of butter.

7. Serve the creamy beef stroganoff over the egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley. Optionally drizzle with Worcestershire sauce or sprinkle with black pepper.

Tips and Conclusion

Choose the right beef: Sirloin is tender and flavorful, but you can also use ribeye or beef tenderloin for a more luxurious version.
Don’t overcook the beef: Searing it quickly at high heat helps retain its tenderness.
Balance the flavors: If your sauce feels too tangy, add a splash of beef broth. For more depth, increase the Worcestershire sauce.

This Classic Beef Stroganoff is comfort food at its finest—a dish that feels like home. The combination of savory beef, creamy sauce, and tender egg noodles is unbeatable. It’s a meal that brings people together around the table, perfect for any day of the week.
