Ingredients
  

1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon flour

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 cup sour cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Egg noodles or rice, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef: Start by slicing the beef sirloin against the grain into thin strips. This will help ensure the meat is tender.

    Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Add Mushrooms: Throw in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they're browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes.

        Cook the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the beef strips to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the beef is browned but not cooked through.

          Add Liquid Ingredients: Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir well to combine. This will help thicken the sauce. Next, pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

            Incorporate Mustard and Sour Cream: Once simmering, add the Dijon mustard and sour cream, mixing until the sauce is creamy and well-combined. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

              Prepare the Noodles or Rice: While the stroganoff is simmering, cook the egg noodles or rice according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

                Serve: To serve, spoon the beef stroganoff over the cooked noodles or rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

                  Enjoy: Sit down, relax, and enjoy your creamy and comforting beef stroganoff!
