Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. sirloin steak tips
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 10 ounces white button mushrooms cleaned and sliced thinly
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth low sodium or homemade
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth low sodium
- 3 cups wide egg noodles
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme or Italian parsley chopped
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- To prepare the meat: First, cut it into 2-inch strips towards the grain, and then cut each strip into 1/2-inch strips against the grain. Place it on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and pat-dry as much as possible. Season the meat with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Heat 1-tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half of the meat, 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer the cooked meat in a bowl. Repeat the same process for the other half. Cover it with aluminum foil and set aside.
- Once the meat is cooked, in the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add onion, mushroom, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until the juices of the mushrooms evaporate, 8-10 minutes.
- Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for a minute.
- Stir in the chicken and beef broths. Scrape the bottom of the pan; making sure that all the bits and pieces of the meat is mixed in the liquid.
- Return the beef into the mixture. Put the lid on and let it cook over low heat until beef is tender for 25-30 minutes.
- Stir in the noodles, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally until noodles are cooked, 10 -12 minutes.
- Off the heat, add the sour cream and lemon juice. Give it a big stir.
- When ready to serve, garnish it with chopped thyme and/or fresh parsley.
- Serve.

Notes
A FEW TIPS FOR THE BEST HOMEMADE BEEF STROGANOFF
- Get the beef sirloin really dry before adding to the skillet. A dry surface on the meat and a super hot skillet give you caramelized beef sirloin tips that provide exceptional flavor.
- Enough liquid in the pan? When I first tested this recipe, at first I felt like there was not enough liquid in the pan to cook the egg noodles, but it worked well in the end. Compared to pasta, egg noodles cooks faster and require less liquid. After the rest of the ingredients are added in, this dish ends up having a silky and creamy texture. So don’t be tempted to add more liquid.
- Want it to have a deeper flavor? The original sirloin beef stroganoff recipe uses a little bit of alcohol to deepen the flavors. I wanted this to be a simple everyday-kind-of recipe so I did not include any. However, if you want to take this dish up a notch you can add in ⅓ cup of white wine or brandy into the sauce at the same time you are adding the chicken and beef broth.
- Want a bit more indulgence? Take beef stroganoff with sour cream up a notch by replacing the sour cream with indulgent creme fraiche.
- Want to make a healthier beef stroganoff? Replace the sour cream with an equal amount of Greek yogurt instead. It will have a little bit more of a sour taste, but will have less calories.
