A cozy and easy-to-make creamy beef and mushroom stroganoff with a tangy twist of Dijon mustard, perfect for comforting weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Thinly slice beef sirloin or ribeye against the grain into bite-sized strips. Clean and slice mushrooms. Finely chop onion and mince garlic. (Prep time about 10 minutes.)
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in a single layer and cook about 2 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add onions and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking 5-7 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and brown.
  4. Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out raw flour taste and thicken sauce.
  5. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  6. Lower heat to medium-low and stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard. Return beef to pan and warm through for 2-3 minutes without boiling to prevent curdling. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan when searing beef to ensure proper browning. Add sour cream off heat or on low heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or water to loosen. For gluten-free, substitute flour with gluten-free blend or cornstarch. For dairy-free, use coconut cream instead of sour cream.
