Ingredients for Beef Stroganoff with Spiced Mushrooms

Beef sirloin, thinly sliced, is the star of the dish, offering tender and juicy bites. Cremini mushrooms provide an earthy base that complements the meat. Onions and garlic add aromatic depth, while beef broth and sour cream create a creamy, luscious sauce.

Butter and olive oil are the fats that bring everything together, enhancing flavor. All-purpose flour thickens the sauce, while smoked paprika and ground nutmeg introduce warmth and complexity. Salt and black pepper season the dish perfectly. Worcestershire sauce adds a tangy, umami punch, and fresh parsley brightens the final dish.

Tips & Tricks

For a richer flavor, use beef stock instead of broth.
Slicing the beef thinly helps it cook quickly and stay tender.
Don’t overcrowd the pan when browning the beef; work in batches if necessary.
Let the sauce simmer to allow flavors to meld without boiling, which can toughen the meat.

Serving Suggestions

This Beef Stroganoff pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or steamed green beans. For a heartier meal, serve it with crusty bread to mop up the creamy sauce. A glass of red wine like Merlot or Pinot Noir complements the dish perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of mushroom?: Absolutely! Button mushrooms or shiitake can be used if cremini aren't available.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?: Yes, you can prepare the sauce ahead of time and reheat it gently before serving. Cook the noodles fresh for best texture.

Beef Stroganoff with Spiced Mushrooms Recipe Walkthrough

Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the sliced beef and let it brown on all sides. Once it’s looking golden and delicious, remove it from the skillet and set it aside for later.

In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onions and garlic until they’re fragrant and translucent. Add the mushrooms and let them cook until they’re tender and have released their juices.

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring to coat. Add in the smoked paprika, nutmeg, salt, and pepper and give it a good stir. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until everything is well combined.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly. Lower the heat and return the beef to the skillet, stirring in the sour cream until the beef is well coated with the creamy sauce.

While the sauce is coming together, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them and keep them warm until ready to serve.

To serve, arrange the egg noodles on a plate or in a bowl and ladle the beef and mushroom sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
