Classic Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 ounces egg noodles (or pasta of your choice)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned (about 4-5 minutes). Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Then, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. This will help thicken the sauce.
  5. Slowly pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  6. Once the sauce is simmering, return the cooked beef to the skillet. After a minute, reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream, mixing well until heated through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Serve the beef stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy this creamy, savory dish with your loved ones!

This hearty Beef Stroganoff is sure to become a staple in your home. The combination of tender beef, savory mushrooms, and creamy sauce is simply irresistible. Serve it with a side salad or some crusty bread for a well-rounded meal. Happy cooking!
