If you're craving something cozy and comforting, this Savory Herb Beef Stroganoff is your ticket to a satisfying meal. With its tender beef and rich, creamy sauce, it’s perfect for those nights when you need a little extra warmth on your plate.
Beef sirloin is the star of the dish, providing tender, juicy meat when cooked just right. Olive oil is used for browning the beef, adding a touch of healthy fats. The onion and garlic are the aromatic base, enhancing the savory depth. Mushrooms bring an earthy richness that complements the beef. Beef broth serves as the flavorful liquid backbone of the sauce. Sour cream adds creaminess and a slight tang, balancing the other flavors. The Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce introduce a zesty kick, while fresh thyme and rosemary infuse the dish with aromatic herbal notes. Lastly, egg noodles are perfect for soaking up all that delicious sauce.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette. For a bit of crunch, serve with a side of garlic bread. A glass of red wine, like Merlot or Cabernet, would complement the rich flavors beautifully.
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat, adding your olive oil once it’s hot. Toss in the beef strips and cook until they’re browned on all sides — this should take about 5 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside; we’ll come back to it soon.
In that same skillet, add your onion and garlic. Sauté them until they’re soft and fragrant, which usually takes about 3–4 minutes. Add the mushrooms next, cooking until they’re golden brown, around 5 more minutes.
Pour in the beef broth, and stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Return the beef to the skillet, reduce the heat, and let it all simmer together for 10 minutes to ensure the flavors meld beautifully.
Stir in the sour cream and cook until everything is heated through. Meanwhile, cook your egg noodles according to the package instructions. Serve the beef stroganoff over the noodles, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
