Recipe
Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish featuring tender strips of beef in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, traditionally served over egg noodles. This comforting meal is perfect for a cozy dinner and comes together quickly for a satisfying weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak or beef tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 12 oz egg noodles, cooked
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices in batches, searing until browned (about 2-3 minutes per batch). Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil and sauté onions until softened (about 3 minutes). Add mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture (5-6 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 1 minute. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, then simmer until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream. Return the beef to the skillet and heat through (do not boil). Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve over cooked egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes:
- For extra tenderness, marinate the beef in a little Worcestershire sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.

What To Serve With It
I love serving my beef stroganoff with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles because they soak up the rich sauce so well. The potatoes add comfort, while the noodles keep it classic, and both make the meal feel complete. You really can’t go wrong with either—just pick your favorite!
Creamy Mashed Potatoes
When I’m making beef stroganoff, I always think creamy mashed potatoes are the perfect side to soak up that rich, savory sauce. There’s something so comforting about fluffy potatoes blended with butter, cream, and a pinch of salt. I love how they balance the dish, adding a smooth texture that complements the tender beef strips. For extra flavor, I sometimes stir in a touch of garlic or a sprinkle of chives. They’re easy to make, and honestly, they’re a crowd-pleaser every time. If you’re looking for a side that feels like a cozy hug, mashed potatoes are it!
Buttered Egg Noodles
Though buttered egg noodles might seem simple, they’re a classic side that pairs wonderfully with beef stroganoff, soaking up every bit of that creamy sauce. I love how their soft texture balances the rich, savory flavors of the dish. To make them, I boil the noodles until they’re just tender, then toss them with a generous knob of butter and a pinch of salt. Sometimes, I add a sprinkle of parsley for a pop of color. They’re quick, easy, and never disappoint. Every bite feels like comfort food at its best, making them my go-to for stroganoff night.
