Ingredients
1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 ounces egg noodles or rice, cooked
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Stir to combine.
- Return the beef to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream. If a thicker sauce is desired, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir into the sauce. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Serve the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
For added nutrition, you can include spinach, peas, or bell peppers.
Chicken can be substituted for beef if preferred.
For a lower-carb option, serve the stroganoff over mashed potatoes or cauliflower rice instead of noodles.
The dish can be made ahead of time by storing it without the sour cream and adding it when reheating.
