🥘Ingredients

For the Beef and Sauce

1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
Salt and black pepper to taste

For Serving

8 oz egg noodles, cooked according to package directions
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

👨‍🍳Directions

1Season the sliced beef with salt and pepper.
2Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3Add the beef in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
4Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
5Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 5 to 7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown.
6Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
7Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
8Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
9Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
10Reduce the heat to low and add the softened cream cheese, stirring until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
11Stir in the sour cream and the cooked beef along with any juices from the plate.
12Simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is heated through and the sauce is creamy.
13Do not boil.
14Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
15Serve the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
