Ingredients
  

1 pound beef sirloin, sliced thinly

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 cup beef broth

1 cup sour cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 ounces egg noodles (or pasta of choice)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Egg Noodles: Begin by boiling a pot of salted water. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water in case you need to loosen the sauce later.

    Sear the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced beef sirloin in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned, but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, stirring occasionally. Sauté until the mushrooms are softened and browned, about 5 minutes.

        Combine Ingredients: Return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

          Add Sour Cream: Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Mix well to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce appears too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Toss with Noodles: Add the drained egg noodles to the skillet, tossing to combine them with the beef stroganoff sauce. Cook together for a minute or two until everything is heated through.

              Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately, and enjoy your quick and easy beef stroganoff!
