How to Make the Recipe
Let’s break this down into simple steps so you can enjoy this creamy garlic pasta dish in no time!
Step 1: Sear the Beef
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced top sirloin steak and sear until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Aromatics
Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 3-4 minutes. This is where the magic begins!
Step 3: Build the Flavor
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This step is crucial for that deep, creamy garlic pasta flavor we all love!
Step 4: Create the Sauce
Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Step 5: Temper the Sour Cream
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with a splash of the warm sauce from the skillet until smooth. This step ensures your creamy sauce won’t curdle when you add it to the dish.
Step 6: Finish the Sauce
Stir the tempered sour cream into the skillet, followed by the heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until thickened to your liking. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7: Serve It Up
While the sauce is cooking, prepare the egg noodles according to package instructions. Once the noodles are cooked, add them directly to the skillet, tossing everything together until the noodles are well coated in that luscious creamy garlic sauce. Return the seared beef to the skillet and toss to combine. Let it all heat through for a final minute or two before serving.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the top sirloin steak, for the best flavor.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing the beef—cook in batches if necessary.
- Add a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
How to Serve
This Creamy Beef Stroganoff with Egg Noodles is a complete meal on its own, but if you’re looking for some extra sides, I recommend serving it with a crisp green salad or some garlic bread. For more hearty options, try pairing it with my Cattle Drive Casserole or Cheesy Ranch Potatoes and Smoked Sausage for a well-rounded dinner.
Make Ahead and Storage
This dish can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently over low heat, adding a splash of cream or milk if needed to maintain the sauce’s creamy texture. Unfortunately, this recipe isn’t ideal for freezing due to the sour cream and heavy cream, which can separate when thawed.
And there you have it—my go-to recipe for Creamy Beef Stroganoff with Egg Noodles that’s perfect for quick family dinners and weeknight meals. It’s one of those easy pasta recipes that’s both comforting and elegant, sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
