While it may be an old-school classic, beef stroganoff is easy, simple-to-make comfort food we take seriously. Tip: For the best ever sauce, sour cream is key.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. extra-wide egg noodles
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 lb. skirt steak
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
  • 4 tbsp. all-purpose flour, divided
  • 3 tbsp. neutral oil
  • 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 c. low-sodium beef stock
  • 1/2 c. full-bodied red wine
  • 1/2 c. sour cream
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles, stirring occasionally, until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter and toss to combine.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, slice steak with the grain into 2"-thick pieces. In a small bowl, mix salt and 3 tablespoons flour. In a large, shallow pan over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Test an edge of a piece of steak; if the sizzle is aggressive, it's ready to go. Dredge steaks in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Cook, turning once, until deep golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a cutting board.

  3. 3

    In same pan over medium-high heat, combine mushrooms, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan, until mushrooms are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes; season with salt and stir to combine. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms to a plate.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to low. Cook shallots, 3 tablespoons water, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter, stirring occasionally, until shallots are caramelized and taste sweet, 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high. Add mustard, tomato paste, and Worcestershire and cook, stirring, until paste is brick red, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon flour and cook, stirring, until flour is toasted, about 1 minute. Pour in stock and wine and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to a small bowl; stir in sour cream.

  6. 6

    Thinly slice meat against the grain into 1/2" strips. Return steak and mushrooms to pan and toss to combine. Add sour cream mixture and noodles to pan and cook, tossing constantly, until sauce thickens and coats noodles, about 3 minutes; season with salt.

  7. 7

    Divide beef stroganoff among plates. Top with parsley.
