Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 12 oz egg noodles
Garnish (Optional)
  • fresh parsley, chopped
For serving
  • cooked rice or pasta
Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Melt half the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, then remove and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Dijon mustard, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Return the beef to the skillet and reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  7. Stir in the sour cream and paprika; heat through but do not boil.
  8. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Serve the beef stroganoff hot over cooked egg noodles, rice, or pasta.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can use a splash of red wine with the beef broth. Ensure the sour cream is at room temperature to prevent curdling when added to the hot sauce.
