Description

This classic 30-minute beef stroganoff features tender seared flank steak and a creamy garlicky mushroom sauce made with white wine, beef stock, and Greek yogurt, all served over wide egg noodles for a comforting and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 1 pound uncooked wide egg noodles

Beef and Sauce

  • 1/4 cup butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 pounds thinly-sliced steak (flank steak recommended)
  • Fine sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 small white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound sliced mushrooms (mix of button and baby bella mushrooms)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups beef stock
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a large stockpot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the wide egg noodles and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sear the steak: While the water heats, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season the steak slices with salt and pepper, then add them in a single layer to the pan. Let cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes to sear, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the steak with a slotted spoon and set aside. If needed, cook the steak in two batches with 1 tablespoon of butter each for even searing.
  3. Sauté vegetables: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same pan. Once melted, add the sliced onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Deglaze and reduce: Pour the white wine into the pan to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the mixture simmer and reduce for about 3 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
  5. Make the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and flour until smooth. Pour this mixture into the pan with the vegetables and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Combine and finish: Stir in the Greek yogurt (or light sour cream) and the cooked steak slices. Mix well and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Heat through gently without boiling.
  7. Serve: Spoon the creamy beef stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an extra twist of black pepper if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use flank steak or skirt steak for best flavor and tenderness; slice thinly against the grain.
  • You can substitute the wide egg noodles with other pasta types, rice, or polenta for serving.
  • For a richer sauce, use light sour cream instead of Greek yogurt, but avoid boiling after adding to prevent curdling.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the flour to 4 tablespoons.
  • Deglazing with white wine adds depth, but you can replace it with extra beef stock if desired.
