Beef Stroganoff is a Russian-inspired dish featuring tender strips of beef in a creamy mushroom sauce. Its richness and subtle tang from sour cream make it perfect over egg noodles or rice.
Start with tender cuts like sirloin or tenderloin, cut into thin strips. Season lightly and sear in a hot skillet until browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef and sauté onions and mushrooms until golden. Add beef stock and a touch of Dijon mustard, then return the beef to the pan, simmering gently. Off heat, stir in sour cream for a velvety finish.
Serve over wide egg noodles with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. The balance of creamy sauce, earthy mushrooms, and tender beef creates comfort food that is both elegant and approachable. A medium-bodied Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with this dish.
