Description

A quick and comforting classic beef stroganoff made with tender sirloin steak, mushrooms, and a creamy sour cream sauce, perfect for serving over egg noodles.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds sirloin or ribeye steak
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 8 ounces white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 14.5 ounces beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Egg noodles, pasta, or mashed potatoes, for serving


Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry, then slice it into 1/2-inch strips or 1-inch cubes.
  2. Season the beef generously with seasoned salt and pepper, then toss with 1 tablespoon of flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Working in batches, brown the beef for about 1 minute per side until lightly colored. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and the diced onion to the pan, cooking until the onion softens, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  6. Introduce the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet, continuing to cook until they are tender, about 4 minutes.
  7. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour, stirring for one minute.
  8. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens.
  9. Return the seared beef to the skillet, ensuring it warms through in the sauce.
  10. Remove from heat and gently stir in the sour cream until well combined. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
  11. Serve the beef stroganoff immediately over hot egg noodles, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Avoid boiling the sauce after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
