A quick and easy creamy beef stroganoff made from scratch with simple ingredients, perfect for cozy dinners and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced into strips
  • 8 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 8 ounces egg noodles, cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients (10 minutes): Slice beef into thin strips about ¼-inch thick. Clean and slice mushrooms. Chop onion finely and mince garlic. Cook egg noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
  2. Sear the Beef (5 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in a single layer and sear for about 2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables (5-7 minutes): In the same skillet, add remaining butter. Cook onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms, cook until mushrooms brown and release moisture, about 4 minutes.
  4. Make the Sauce (10 minutes): Sprinkle flour over mushroom-onion mixture and stir to coat. Cook 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in paprika, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  5. Finish with Sour Cream & Beef (3 minutes): Remove skillet from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Return beef strips to pan and fold gently into sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve immediately over cooked egg noodles and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

Avoid boiling the sauce after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen. Sear beef in batches if pan is crowded to avoid steaming. Use full-fat sour cream for best texture or substitute with Greek yogurt off heat for tangier, lighter sauce. Gluten-free flour and noodles can be used for gluten-free adaptation.
