Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or stew meat, cut into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 lb (450g) egg noodles or pasta (for serving)
Instructions
- Season the beef strips with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened (about 2-3 minutes). Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Stir in the sour cream and flour. Mix well to combine and let the sauce simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
- Add the cooked beef back into the skillet. Stir to coat the beef in the sauce and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the beef is heated through.
- Serve the Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Notes
- For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Double the ingredients if serving a larger group.
- This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables.
