The foundation of any great Beef Stroganoff lies in its aromatic base. Begin by heating a generous amount of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add finely chopped onions. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they turn golden and translucent. This caramelization process is crucial as it releases the natural sugars in the onions, creating a sweet undertone that enhances the overall flavor profile of the dish.

Ingredients
  

1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika for a deeper flavor

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup beef broth (low sodium recommended)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

12 oz egg noodles

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Egg Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles in a colander and set aside, reserving a little pasta water in case you need to adjust consistency later.

    Sear the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin, seasoning it with salt and pepper generously. Sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is beautifully browned but not fully cooked through. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.

      Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, without cleaning it, add the finely chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, sautéing for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.

        Combine Ingredients: Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the sautéed onions and mushrooms and stir to combine. Return the seared beef to the skillet, and pour in the beef broth along with the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Mix well and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.

          Incorporate the Cream: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until it's fully blended into the sauce. Let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper as needed.

            Toss with Noodles: Add the drained egg noodles to the skillet, using tongs to gently toss them until they are evenly coated in the creamy beef sauce. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and generously sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the stroganoff for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot in bowls or on plates, and enjoy your comforting homestyle beef stroganoff!
