Recipe

This classic Beef Stroganoff recipe combines tender strips of beef with a creamy, savory sauce, served over egg noodles for a comforting and satisfying meal. Perfect for a hearty dinner, it’s easy to prepare and packed with rich flavors.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 12 oz egg noodles, cooked
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef slices, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Return the beef to the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes, until heated through.
5. Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes:

For a richer flavor, use full-fat sour cream. Substitute beef with chicken or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.

What To Serve With It

I love pairing my beef stroganoff with simple sides like buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes, which soak up the creamy sauce perfectly. A crisp green salad or roasted veggies add a fresh contrast to the rich flavors. For drinks, I usually go with a glass of red wine or sparkling water with a lemon twist to keep things balanced.

Side Dishes

Pairing beef stroganoff with the right side dishes can really make the meal shine, and I’ve found that it’s all about balance. Creamy mashed potatoes are my go-to—they soak up that rich, savory sauce perfectly. Garlic bread is another favorite because it adds a crunchy, garlicky kick that complements the dish beautifully. Sometimes, I’ll toss in a simple green salad for freshness, or roasted veggies like carrots and green beans for a bit of color and texture. It’s all about creating a meal that feels hearty yet balanced, so every bite is as satisfying as the last.

Beverage Pairings

Since beef stroganoff is rich and creamy, you’ll want a drink that cuts through that richness without overpowering it. I love pairing it with a glass of red wine, like a Pinot Noir or Merlot, because its acidity balances the dish perfectly. If wine isn’t your thing, sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon or lime works wonders—it’s invigorating and lightens the meal. Sometimes, I’ll even add a sprig of mint for extra flair. These choices keep the flavors bright and complement the savory, creamy notes of the stroganoff without stealing the spotlight. Cheers to a perfect pairing!
