A rich and creamy Beef Stroganoff recipe made with tender beef strips, mushrooms, and a luscious sour cream sauce. Perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner or a special family meal.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb beef tenderloin or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 oz egg noodles, cooked and drained
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Beef: Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Cook the Beef: Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef strips in batches for about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Cook onions until softened (about 3 minutes). Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking until golden brown (5-6 minutes).
  • Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Add Sour Cream: Lower the heat and stir in sour cream. Temper it by adding a spoonful of hot sauce to the sour cream before mixing it into the skillet.
  • Combine Beef: Return the beef to the skillet. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve: Serve the Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine before adding the broth.
  • Avoid overcooking the beef to keep it tender.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
