Ingredients:

• 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces (225g) mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup sour cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
• Cooked egg noodles or rice for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef: Season the beef slices with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
2. Saute Onion, Garlic, and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Create the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the cooked beef slices to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Finish with Sour Cream: Reduce the heat to low. Gently stir in the sour cream, ensuring it’s fully incorporated without boiling to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
6. Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness if desired.
