Discover the ultimate Beef Stroganoff recipe! Tender sautéed beef cooked in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, perfect for serving over noodles or rice. This classic dish is easy to make and packed with flavor, ideal for a comforting weeknight meal or special occasion.

Ingredients:

- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced

- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 1 large onion, finely chopped

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 cup (250ml) beef broth

- 1 cup (250ml) sour cream

- 1 cup (250g) mushrooms, sliced

- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

- Salt and pepper, to taste

- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

- Cooked noodles or rice, for serving

Instructions:

Prepare the Beef: Season the beef slices with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices and cook until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and have released their juices, about 5 minutes.

Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine and Finish: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Return the cooked beef to the skillet and simmer until the beef is heated through and coated with the sauce, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve: Serve the Beef Stroganoff over cooked noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Enjoy your delicious, homemade Beef Stroganoff!
