If you're craving something comforting yet elegant, this Rich Mushroom Beef Stroganoff is a must-try. It's a classic dish with a creamy, savory sauce that wraps around tender beef and earthy mushrooms. Perfect for a cozy night in.
Start by heating some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your thinly sliced beef sirloin in batches, giving them space to brown nicely. You don’t want them to steam. Once browned, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.
In that same skillet, toss in your sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté them until they fill your kitchen with that irresistible aroma. Next, add the sliced cremini mushrooms. Let them cook down until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Now, sprinkle a tablespoon of flour over your mushroom mixture. Stir it well to coat everything evenly. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, mixing everything together.
Return the browned beef to the skillet, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, and let it thicken for about 10 minutes. Finally, stir in the sour cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve this comforting stroganoff over a bed of cooked egg noodles and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley. Voila, dinner is served!
This dish pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette. You could also serve it with some crusty bread to mop up any leftover sauce. A glass of red wine would complement the savory flavors beautifully.
Beef sirloin is ideal here because it cooks quickly and stays tender. Olive oil helps sear the beef and sauté the veggies, adding a subtle flavor. The onion and garlic are the aromatic base, making the dish fragrant and flavorful. Cremini mushrooms are hearty and bring an earthy depth to the sauce. A sprinkle of flour thickens the sauce just right. Beef broth enhances the meaty taste, while sour cream adds creaminess. Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard give a tangy, savory kick. Lastly, salt and pepper balance the flavors, and fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness.
