Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups beef broth
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
8 ounces egg noodles
Water (for boiling)
Salt (for boiling water)
Instructions
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper.
Add the beef to the skillet in batches, cooking until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and golden, around 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Cook for an additional minute.
Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the flour with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the simmering sauce.
Return the cooked beef to the skillet and simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the sour cream. Mix well until smooth and heated through, ensuring not to let it boil.
Combine the cooked egg noodles with the beef stroganoff sauce, or serve the sauce over the noodles on individual plates.
