Ingredients
  

1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work great)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika for added depth

1 cup beef broth (low sodium recommended)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 cup sour cream, at room temperature

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

8 oz egg noodles (or your preferred pasta)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain the noodles and return them to the pot, drizzling with a little olive oil to prevent sticking; set aside.

    Sear the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up, then add the thinly sliced beef sirloin. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is nicely browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and aromatic. Next, add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.

        Add Flavor: Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the sautéed vegetables, stirring well to coat. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, mixing to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

          Finish the Sauce: Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and add the room-temperature sour cream to the skillet. Stir until the sour cream is fully incorporated and the sauce becomes creamy. Return the seared beef back to the skillet, mixing everything until well combined. Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes without boiling.

            Combine with Noodles: Add the cooked egg noodles to the beef stroganoff sauce. Gently fold the noodles into the sauce, ensuring that they are well coated and infused with the creamy goodness.

              Serve: Spoon the creamy beef stroganoff onto plate, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy your dreamy, comforting meal!
