Instructions
- Sear the Beef:
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef strips in batches, searing until browned on all sides (about 2-3 minutes). Remove beef and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add remaining butter. Sauté onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in mushrooms and cook until golden and their liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes.
- Deglaze and Simmer:
- Deglaze the pan with beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
- Add Beef and Creamy Ingredients:
- Reduce heat to low. Return beef (and its juices) to the skillet. Stir in Dijon mustard and sour cream until combined and the sauce is creamy. Do not boil.
- Finish the Sauce:
- Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Serve stroganoff over hot, cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley.
