Equipment

  • 1 Measuring spoons Standard set
  • 1 Chef’s knife For slicing beef and vegetables
  • 1 Cutting board For prep

Method
 

  1. Prepare the beef: Slice sirloin thinly against the grain. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches for 1–2 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté veggies: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onion and mushrooms. Cook 6–8 minutes until softened and golden.
  4. Add garlic and flour: Stir in minced garlic and flour. Cook 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste.
  5. Deglaze and simmer: Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire, and Dijon. Stir and simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened slightly.
  6. Return beef to pan: Lower heat to low. Stir in cooked beef and any juices.
  7. Add sour cream: Remove skillet from heat and stir in sour cream until smooth. Season to taste.
  8. Serve: Spoon over egg noodles or preferred base. Garnish with parsley and cracked pepper.

Notes

You can substitute ground beef for sirloin for a 25-minute easy beef stroganoff recipe.
Greek yogurt works as a sour cream substitute, but add off-heat to avoid curdling.
Make it gluten-free by using cornstarch instead of flour and serving over rice.
