Ingredients
1 1/2poundssirloin steakthinly sliced into strips across the grain
2tablespoonsolive oil
1medium oniondiced
8ouncesmushroomssliced
2tablespoonsall-purpose flour
1(14.25-ounce) can beef broth
3tablespoonstomato paste
3tablespoonsdry sherry
1 1/2teaspoonssalt
1/2teaspoonpepper
1/2teaspoondried tarragon
1/2teaspoondried thyme
8ouncessour cream
2tablespoonsparsleychopped
1pounduncooked egg noodles,cooked per package directions, then tossed with butter
In a large saute pan, heat the oil (2 tablespoons) then add the beef in 2 batches and brown on both sides. Don't overcook the beef or it will get tough--I leave a little pink in the center of the strips. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Add the onion (1) to the pan and cook until it just begins to soften about 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms (8 ounces) and cook until they're soft about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle flour (2 tablespoons) evenly over veggies. Mix until veggies are evenly coated.
Add HALF the can of beef broth and the tomato paste (3 tablespoons) and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Add beef and any accumulated juices back to the pan, then add sherry (3 tablespoons), salt (1 1/2 teaspoons), pepper (1/2 teaspoon), tarragon (1/2 teaspoon), and thyme (1/2 teaspoon). Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat then add sour cream (8 ounces) and stir until sour cream is completely incorporated and the sauce is smooth. Sprinkle with parsley (2 tablespoons) and serve over warm cooked buttered egg noodles. Add more beef broth, if needed, to thin the sauce.
Notes
Lower Fat Version: This can be made as a lower fat version with nonfat sour cream. The sauce still has a lot of flavor and, as you can see, still has a creamy texture, it’s just not as rich. I have to say I prefer the full-fat version but like that the sauce works well with either.
Sauce Thickness: (3/10/2016) A few readers have commented that they’re Stroganoff has come out too runny. I’m going to suggest you start with adding half of the can of broth at step 3 and continue on with the recipe as written. (I’m amending the recipe to say use 1/2 of the can) Add more of the broth at any point to thin sauce as needed/desired.
