How to Make Beef Stroganoff:

Cook the Noodles: Start by boiling the egg noodles until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Brown the Beef: In a Dutch oven or large skillet, melt butter and brown the steak strips. Set aside to keep warm.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté onions and mushrooms until soft and golden.
Create the Sauce: Add garlic and flour, then slowly whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Let it simmer until thickened.
Combine Ingredients: Stir in sour cream, add the beef and noodles, and mix until well combined. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

About the BEEF:

For this recipe, tender cuts of beef like sirloin or flank steak work best. They cook quickly and stay juicy, making them ideal for a creamy stroganoff. Always cut against the grain for maximum tenderness.

What to Serve Stroganoff Over or With:

Beef Stroganoff is traditionally served over egg noodles, but it also pairs beautifully with rice, mashed potatoes, or even a fresh salad on the side. For an extra touch, serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

MAKE AHEAD, STORING AND FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS:

Make Ahead: You can prepare the beef and sauce a day in advance. Store in the fridge, then reheat before serving.
Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the beef stroganoff in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth to restore creaminess.

This Easy Beef Stroganoff is a comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender beef, savory mushrooms, and creamy sauce, all served over egg noodles. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner!

Ingredients

12 ounces egg noodles
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ pounds thinly sliced beef steak (such as petite shoulder)
1 medium onion, chopped
12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups low sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2/3 cup sour cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

Cook egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain well.
In a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the steak and cook until browned on both sides, working in batches if needed. Remove the steak to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet along with the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes until the onions are soft and mushrooms are browned.
Reduce heat to low, add minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for another 2 minutes.
Slowly pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked noodles and beef back to the skillet, simmering gently for 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
