Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbling. Add the beef sirloin strips in a single layer and cook until browned on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onions, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Return the browned beef to the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream, mixing well to create a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Let the stroganoff cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.
- Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of beef and pork.
- You can add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra depth.
- Feel free to include other vegetables such as bell peppers or carrots for added nutrition and color.
