Classic Beef Stroganoff

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.

Step 2

Season the sliced beef sirloin with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef in batches until browned but still pink in the center, about 2 minutes per side; remove and set aside.

Step 4

Add the remaining butter to the skillet along with the sliced onion and mushrooms, and cook until softened and golden, about 6 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat, cooking for 1 minute.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Return the beef and any accumulated juices to the skillet and cook until the beef reaches your desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until smooth; do not let it boil after adding the sour cream.

Step 9

Serve the stroganoff spooned over the cooked egg noodles.
