Ingredients

1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced into strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz (225g) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups (720ml) beef broth
8 oz (225g) wide egg noodles (uncooked)
¾ cup (180g) sour cream
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1: Sear the Beef

Heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat in a large, deep skillet or sauté pan.
Add the sliced beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until just browned. Remove beef and set aside on a plate (it will finish cooking later).

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pan, add chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking for another 4-5 minutes until mushrooms are golden and onions are fragrant.

Step 3: Add Seasonings & Flour

Sprinkle paprika, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir in the flour, cooking for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 4: Simmer the Noodles

Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring, then bring to a gentle boil.
Add the uncooked egg noodles and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 5: Finish with Sour Cream & Beef

Return the browned beef to the pan. Stir in the sour cream until everything is well-coated and creamy.
Let everything cook together over low heat for 2-3 minutes—don’t boil or the sour cream may curdle.

Step 6: Serve

Sprinkle chopped parsley over the stroganoff. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy goodness!

Notes

For extra flavor, sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
If your sauce is too thick, add a splash of beef broth to loosen it up.
Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest, richest sauce.

Variations

Chicken Stroganoff: Substitute the beef with boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs.
Mushroom Lover's: Double the mushrooms and use vegetable broth for a meat-free version.
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free noodles and replace the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free blend.

Required Equipment

Large, deep skillet or sauté pan with lid

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover All-in-one-pan beef stroganoff in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a pan over medium-low heat, adding a splash of beef broth if needed to loosen the sauce. Freezing is not recommended, as both noodles and sour cream can change texture once thawed.

Serving Recommendations

Pair with a crisp green salad and garlic bread for a comforting meal.
Add steamed green beans or roasted asparagus for a fresh, vibrant side.
Sprinkle with extra parsley or grated Parmesan for more flavor.

Pro Tips

Slice the beef against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Keep your pan covered while noodles cook to keep moisture in.
Let the stroganoff rest for a few minutes before serving to let the sauce thicken and flavors meld.
