Ingredients

  • 8 ounces egg noodles (whole wheat or regular)
  • 1 pound lean beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup dry white wine (for deglazing)

Instructions

  1. Cook Egg Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare Beef: Season the beef strips with salt and black pepper to taste. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Onions and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and tender. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Create Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually stir in beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate any browned bits. Stir in Greek yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Optional: Deglaze the skillet with dry white wine by adding it at this stage and stirring well.
  5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and flavors have melded together.
  6. Combine Beef and Sauce: Return the cooked beef strips to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  7. Serve: Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
