A quick and easy creamy one-pot beef stroganoff that delivers tender beef, earthy mushrooms, and a luscious sauce, perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces (225g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups (480ml) beef broth, low-sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) sour cream, full-fat
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour/cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 8 ounces (225g) wide egg noodles or pappardelle
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (60ml) white wine (e.g., Pinot Grigio)

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef thinly against the grain into 2-3 inch strips. Chop the onion finely, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms.
  2. Heat a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil. Sear the beef in batches for about 2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Add remaining butter or oil, then sauté onions until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Return beef strips to the pan. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. While sauce simmers, cook egg noodles in salted boiling water until al dente (6-8 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  8. Remove pan from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Do not boil after adding sour cream.
  9. Toss noodles gently into the sauce or serve stroganoff over noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when browning beef to ensure caramelization. Slice beef thinly against the grain for tenderness. Cook mushrooms slowly to develop flavor. Stir flour into mushrooms and cook to remove raw taste. Add sour cream off heat to prevent curdling. Adjust sauce thickness with broth or pasta water as needed.
