Old Fashioned Beef Stroganoff

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pounds beef sirloin steak, sliced thin
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 pound egg noodles
• 1 medium white onion, sliced
• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 1/4 cup salted butter
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste  

Instructions:

1. Prep the Steak:

   • Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
   • Dust the strips with flour.

2. Cook the Noodles:

   • Cook the egg noodles according to package directions.
   • Drain well.

3. Sauté the Veggies:

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add onions and mushrooms, sauté until tender (about 7 minutes).
   • Remove from the pan and set aside.

4. Brown the Steak:

   • Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add steak strips and cook until browned (4-5 minutes).

5. Create the Sauce:

   • Return the onions and mushrooms to the skillet.
   • Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
   • Simmer until thickened (2-3 minutes).
   • Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard.

6. Combine and Serve:

   • Add cooked noodles to the sauce and stir to combine.
   • Season with salt and pepper.
   • Serve hot over noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Tips and Substitutions:

• Steak Choice: While sirloin is a good choice, you can experiment with other cuts like ribeye or tenderloin.
• Ground Beef: If you prefer ground beef, brown it, drain excess fat, and add flour before proceeding with the recipe.
• Pasta Alternatives: You can use other pasta shapes or substitute with mashed potatoes or rice. For a healthier option, try zucchini noodles or cauliflower mash.
• Veggie Additions: Consider adding bell peppers or broccoli florets to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrients.
• Flavor Boost: A splash of red wine or a teaspoon of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary can enhance the sauce.

Enjoy your delicious Beef Stroganoff!
