This family friendly Beef Stroganoff Recipe combines tender browned bites of steak with onions, garlic, mushrooms and egg noodles in a rich creamy lightly seasoned beef sauce that has a touch of mustard and sour cream in it.

It is easy enough for a novice cook and it really hits that comfort spot well. I like to serve it with Oven Roasted Parmesan Asparagus and Garlic Knots.

Delectable Beef Stroganoff is always a favorite at our house. It is one of our favorite comfort meals and we love to serve it for our Sunday family meal (kind of like the Waltons) although it is easy enough to serve on a weeknight meal. If you have never tried it really is a must. You and your loved ones will be so happy that you did.

How to make Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Start by boiling your egg noodles according to package instructions and drain well. Meanwhile add a little butter to a Dutch Oven or heavy stockpot over medium heat. Add the steak and cook until browned on both sides. Remove to plate and add a little more butter to the pan. Now add the onions and mushrooms and cook for a few minutes until the mushrooms are browned. Then add the garlic, thyme and parsley cooking for an additional minute. Reduce the heat to medium low and sprinkle in the flour. Stirring constantly cook for another couple of minutes.

Now stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until thickened. Now add the cooked noodles and cooked beef. Finally stir in the sour cream and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Serve promptly garnished with a little more parsley.

Tips for making this Beef Stroganoff Recipe

I love Amish Egg Noodles and use them in this recipe. They are a little thicker with rich flavor. Be sure to get the extra wide noodles.
If available get Cremini Mushrooms as I find that they add a little more of a deep savory flavor. However if not available you can substitute white button mushrooms
My favorite cut of beef for this recipe is petite shoulder however if that is not available rib-eye steak, beef tenderloin or even ground chuck can be substituted.
This particular recipe does not call for a lot of seasonings however a good helping of freshly ground black pepper and little salt is a necessity.
This Beef Stroganoff Recipe is best served promptly so the noodles do not overcook and the sauce maintains a good consistency. If the sauce become too thick you can thin it with some beef broth. Use a small amount at time so you do not thin it too much. If accidentally thinned too much whisk in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cool beef broth.
