- 🌿 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

🍳 Instructions
Prepare the Beef
- Season the Beef:
- Season the beef strips with salt and black pepper.
- Sear the Beef:
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the beef and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables
- Sauté the Onions and Mushrooms:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and remaining olive oil. Sauté the chopped onions for 2 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 4–5 minutes until browned.
- Add Garlic:
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Make the Sauce
- Deglaze the Pan:
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add the Sour Cream:
- Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
- Combine the Beef:
- Return the seared beef to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through.
Serve
- Prepare the Noodles:
- While the stroganoff simmers, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with a bit of butter for flavor.
- Plate and Garnish:
- Serve the beef stroganoff over the warm egg noodles or rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
💡 Tips and Variations
- 🥩 Beef Choice: Use tender cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or filet mignon for the best results.
- 🍄 Mushroom Options: Try shiitake or portobello mushrooms for deeper flavor.
- 🧄 Add Wine: Deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup white wine before adding the broth for extra depth.
