This Savory Mushroom & Herb Beef Stroganoff is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for cozy nights in. It's a delightful twist on a classic dish, with a rich and creamy sauce that wraps around tender beef and earthy mushrooms. You'll love how the fresh herbs add a burst of flavor.
Beef sirloin is the star here, providing a tender and juicy bite when sliced thinly and cooked just right. Olive oil is our go-to for browning the beef and sautéing the veggies, adding a subtle richness. Onions and garlic lay down the aromatic foundation, infusing the dish with deep flavor. Cremini mushrooms contribute an earthy depth that complements the beef beautifully. Beef broth is the base for our sauce, keeping it savory and moist. Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce team up to add a tangy, umami punch. Sour cream makes the sauce wonderfully creamy with a hint of tang. Finally, fresh parsley and dill elevate everything with their bright, fresh notes.
This stroganoff pairs beautifully with a simple green salad tossed in a light vinaigrette. For a bit of crunch, you can also serve it with some crusty bread on the side. A glass of red wine, like a Pinot Noir, complements the flavors nicely.
Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thin slices of beef sirloin and let them brown on both sides. This should take about 4–5 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef and set it aside. In the same skillet, toss in the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Let them sauté until the onion turns translucent, which should be around 3 minutes.
Next, add the cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Stir them occasionally until they turn golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the browned beef to the skillet, reduce the heat, and let everything simmer together for another 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld wonderfully. Stir in the sour cream, fresh parsley, and dill. Mix until the sauce is creamy and well-combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
While the sauce is coming together, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once drained, serve the savory beef stroganoff over the warm noodles for a comforting meal.
