Hearty one pot beef stroganoff delivers classic comfort from Russia with creamy egg noodles and tender beef in a rich, tangy sauce. Home cooks can quickly prepare this satisfying meal for family dinners with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced into thin strips
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups egg noodles (uncooked)
- 8 oz (225g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Coat beef strips thoroughly with seasoned flour mixture, ensuring even coverage for optimal flavor and texture.
- In a spacious pot, warm oil or butter over medium-high heat; quickly sear beef until golden brown, creating a rich caramelized exterior. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- Lower heat and introduce chopped onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms to the same pot. Sauté until vegetables become translucent and release their aromatic essence, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Pour in beef broth, splash of Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir ingredients together and allow mixture to reach a gentle simmer, developing deep, complex flavors.
- Carefully add egg noodles directly into the simmering liquid, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Reintroduce browned beef strips into the pot, gently folding them into the noodle mixture. Reduce heat to low and incorporate sour cream, creating a luxurious, creamy sauce.
- Allow stroganoff to warm through completely, approximately 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish before serving hot.
Notes
- Tenderize beef by slicing against the grain for maximum softness and easier chewing.
- Use high-quality beef cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for the most luxurious texture and flavor.
- Swap regular noodles with gluten-free alternatives for a celiac-friendly version of the dish.
- Control sodium levels by using low-sodium beef broth and reducing added salt during cooking.
