Beef Stroganoff
I made this for the first time this past winter, and it's a dish that definitely warms you up and comforts!
Egg noodles are typically lighter than dry pasta because of the presence of egg breaks up the heaviness of all the starches. They're a perfect match for the robust sauce with the chunks of beef and mushrooms.
Serves: 4
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
-
1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin steak
-
1 cup sliced Cremini mushrooms
-
1/2 cup chopped shallot
-
2 chopped garlic cloves
-
1 cup beef broth
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
-
1 1/2 cup sour cream
-
1/4 cup flour
-
1 bag of egg noodles
-
Boil the pasta: Heat a large pot of water (2 quarts of water) to a strong boil. Add a tablespoon of salt. Add the pasta and cook at a rolling boil, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente—edible but still a little firm to the bite.
-
Cut beef across grain into about 1 1/2x1/2-inch strips.
-
Cook mushrooms, onions and garlic in butter in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender; remove from skillet.
-
Cook beef in same skillet until brown. Stir in 1 cup of the broth, the salt and mustard. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
-
Stir remaining 1/2 cup broth into flour; stir into beef mixture. Add onion mixture; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in sour cream; heat until hot (do not boil). Serve over noodles.
