Ingredients

Stroganoff:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 2-by-1-by-1/8-inch strips

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

12 ounces button mushrooms, quartered

1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon tomato paste

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups beef broth, homemade or low-sodium canned

1/4 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Noodles:

Kosher salt

One 12-ounce package wide egg noodles

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. For the stroganoff: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Raise the heat to high and heat 1 tablespoon oil. Season half the beef with salt and pepper, add to the skillet, arranging it in a single layer, and cook without stirring until well-browned and still pinkish inside, 1 to 2 minutes. (It is key to only partially cook the meat at this stage, since it will be finish cooking later in the sauce.) Transfer to a large plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining oil and beef. Discard any excess oil. 
  2. Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and, when the foaming begins to subside, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to the plate with the beef. 
  3. Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet; when the foaming begins to subside, add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth and, whisking constantly, bring to a full boil. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the sour cream, mustard and lemon juice and season with pepper to taste. Set the sauce aside covered. 
  4. Meanwhile, for the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously, and cook the noodles until tender but not mushy. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with the butter and season with pepper. 
  5. Add the beef and any juices, mushrooms and parsley to the sauce and reheat over medium heat until just hot. (Do not boil.) Divide the noodles among 4 plates and top with the stroganoff. Serve immediately.

My husband is a gravy guy but he came home from work crabby as I was trying to thicken up the sauce and I got distracted so as it’s bubbling I added little more flour then panicked but as I whisked in the added flour the sauce got thicker and the dinner was delicious! My husband was no longer crabby lol 😃
