Beef Stroganoff with Noodles – A Comforting, Hearty Meal

Introduction

This Beef Stroganoff with noodles is the perfect hearty dish to warm you up any night of the week. Tender slices of beef simmer in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, then are served over buttery egg noodles for the ultimate comfort meal.

Ingredients

For the Stroganoff

  • 1 lb (450 g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
  • 1 tbsp flour (for thickening)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Noodles

  • 10–12 oz egg noodles
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Noodles

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 7–9 minutes).
  3. Drain, toss with 1 tbsp butter, and set aside.

2. Cook the Beef

  1. Season sliced beef with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add beef in a single layer and quickly sear (1–2 minutes per side).
  4. Remove beef from pan and set aside—don’t overcook; it will finish in the sauce.

3. Make the Sauce

  1. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter.
  2. Add onions and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and moisture evaporates (5–7 minutes).
  5. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 1 minute to cook out the raw taste.
  6. Pour in beef broth while stirring; simmer until slightly thickened.
  7. Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard.

4. Finish the Stroganoff

  1. Return the seared beef and its juices to the pan.
  2. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream.
  3. Simmer gently without boiling for 2–3 minutes until warmed through.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

5. Serve

  • Spoon the creamy beef stroganoff over warm buttered egg noodles.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra richness: Add a splash of heavy cream.
  • For a lighter version: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream (add off heat to prevent curdling).
  • Add-ins: Peas, spinach, or caramelized onions.
  • Make ahead: Sauce reheats well on low heat.
