# What You'll Need:
→ Beef
01 - 1.1 lbs beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
02 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
03 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
→ Vegetables & Aromatics
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
06 - 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
07 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
08 - 10 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
→ Sauce
09 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
10 - 1 cup beef broth
11 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
13 - 1/2 cup sour cream, plus extra for serving
14 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
→ To Serve
15 - 10 oz wide egg noodles, cooked per package instructions
# How to Prepare:
01 - Season beef strips evenly with salt and black pepper.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, sear beef strips 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
03 - Add remaining butter and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms brown and moisture evaporates, 5-7 minutes.
04 - Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir continuously for 1 minute to eliminate raw taste.
05 - Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
06 - Reduce heat to low, then gently fold in sour cream and parsley until fully incorporated. Avoid boiling the sauce after adding sour cream.
07 - Return beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Stir gently and heat through for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
08 - Plate the stroganoff over prepared wide egg noodles. Garnish with additional parsley and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
