A creamy, savory one-pan beef stroganoff made with tender steak, mushrooms, and a rich sour cream sauce. Ready in just 30 minutes for an easy comfort-food dinner.
Sear the BeefHeat a large pan over medium high heat. Add the oil and once hot, place the sliced beef in a single layer. Let it cook about one minute per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Build the Flavor BaseAdd the butter to the same pan. Stir in the onion and mushrooms. Cook for 6–8 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and the onions are soft and golden.
Create the SauceAdd the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour and stir another minute. Pour in the broth, scraping the bottom. Add heavy cream and simmer until thickened.
Add the Sour Cream and SeasoningsMix a spoonful of sauce into the sour cream, then add it to the pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Adjust to taste.
Bring It All TogetherReturn the beef and juices to the pan. Warm through on low. Serve over noodles and garnish with fresh herbs.
Notes
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of broth. If too thin, simmer longer.
Sear the beef in small batches, let mushrooms fully brown, and temper the sour cream for a smooth sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
Don’t skip the fresh herbs—they really elevate the dish.
