Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 pound beef tenderloin, sliced (or sirloin)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for thickening)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup egg noodles (for serving)
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes.

    Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even browning.
  2. Cook the Vegetables

    Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic, sautéing until soft. Then add mushrooms and cook until tender.

    Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Make the Sauce

    Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Gradually add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until thickened.

    For a richer flavor, add a pinch of paprika.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the sour cream. Heat through without boiling.

    Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve

    Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Serve the beef stroganoff over the noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.

    Serve immediately for best texture.
