Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (454 grams) sirloin steak (sliced into bite-sized strips)
- 20 oz (567 grams) egg noodles
- 16 oz (473 ml) low-sodium beef broth
- 8 oz (226 grams) button mushrooms (sliced)
- ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps butter
- 1 yellow onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsps all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsps worcestershire sauce
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Noodle Preparation: Salt a pot of water and cook egg noodles until tender, then drain and set aside for final plating.
- Meat Coating: Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl, thoroughly dredging each steak strip and reserving excess flour mixture.
- Beef Searing: Heat skillet to medium-high, add olive oil, and quickly sear beef strips until golden-brown on both sides. Transfer browned meat to a separate dish.
- Aromatic Base: Lower skillet temperature, melt butter, and sauté onions until translucent, developing a sweet foundation for the sauce.
- Vegetable Infusion: Add mushrooms and garlic to the onion mixture, briefly cooking to intensify their flavor profile and release aromatic essence.
- Sauce Development: Sprinkle remaining flour over vegetables, gradually whisk in beef broth to prevent lumps. Introduce Dijon mustard, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce, creating a smooth, rich sauce that gradually thickens.
- Protein Integration: Return seared steak strips to the sauce, allowing them to warm and absorb the complex flavor layers.
- Creamy Finish: Remove from heat and gently fold in sour cream, transforming the sauce into a luxurious, silky coating.
- Plating: Ladle the stroganoff over egg noodles, garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant, final flourish.
Notes
- Salting Technique: Use generously salted water when boiling noodles to enhance their flavor from within, creating a more robust base for the dish.
- Meat Coating Pro: Ensure even flour coating by patting steak strips dry before dredging, which helps achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and crispy exterior.
- Sautéing Secret: Cook onions and mushrooms at medium heat to develop deep, caramelized flavors without burning, releasing their natural sweetness gradually.
- Sauce Smoothing Trick: Whisk beef broth slowly and consistently to prevent flour lumps, creating a silky-smooth sauce that coats every ingredient beautifully.
