If you're craving something hearty yet elegant, you’ve hit the jackpot with this Creamy Mustard Beef Stroganoff. It’s a classic comfort food dish with a tangy twist, perfect for a cozy night in or impressing dinner guests.
Beef sirloin is your star protein, providing tender and juicy bites. Olive oil helps sear the beef to perfection. Onion and garlic add depth and aroma. Cremini mushrooms bring earthy flavors that complement the beef. Beef broth acts as a savory base for our sauce. Heavy cream gives the dish its luxurious texture. Dijon mustard introduces a sharp, tangy element, while Worcestershire sauce enhances the umami notes. Finally, a sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness.
Pair this dish with a crisp green salad tossed with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness. A side of roasted asparagus or green beans makes for an excellent addition, adding a fresh and vibrant touch to your meal.
Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the thinly sliced beef sirloin. Sear it until it’s beautifully browned, which should take about 5 minutes. Once done, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, toss in your thinly sliced onion. Sauté these for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften. Then, add the minced garlic and sliced cremini mushrooms. Stir occasionally and let them cook together until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 more minutes.
Next, pour in the beef broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Let this cook for around 5 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
Return the beef to the skillet, and don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
While the beef mixture is simmering, cook your egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, serve them up and generously top them with the creamy beef mixture. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
