Easy Beef Stroganoff #recipe #onepotmeal

Prep. Time 15 mins
Cooking Time 30 - 35 mins

Yields 4 to 6 servings

This has to be one of my favorite old recipes that I've been making for years. It's been a while since I've made it, but I will be making this for Easter dinner this year. Not really the traditional ham or turkey, but an easy dish that can be prepped before hand. If you're planning on making this for company, prepare and make everything up until adding the pasta. You'd add the pasta close to the time you'd want to service it, to prevent the noodles from falling apart. If you're not fond of noodles, serve it over rice.

1 lb (450 g) boneless sirloin beef, cut into strips
2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
4 cups (1 L) sliced mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) paprika
3 tbsp (45 mL) all-purpose flour
4 cups (1 L) milk
1 cup (250 mL) beef stock
2 tbsp (30 mL) Dijon mustard
8 oz (250 g) curly broad egg noodles
2 cups (500 mL) frozen peas or mixed vegetables, thawed
1 cup (250 mL) sour cream (light or regular)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh dill or parsley, to taste

Method:

Sprinkle beef strips with 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper. In large pot, melt half of butter over medium-high heat. Sauté beef, in 2 batches, adding more of the butter as necessary. Transfer beef to bowl.

Add mushrooms, onion, paprika, 1 tsp (5 mL) salt and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper to pot. Cook, stirring, for 10 min or until liquid is released and mushrooms start to brown. Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring, for 30 sec. Gradually stir in milk, beef stock and mustard; cook, stirring often, until sauce comes to a simmer.

Stir in noodles and return to gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 min, stirring occasionally. Increase heat to medium-low. Stir in beef and peas; simmer, uncovered, stirring often, for 5 min or until hot and noodles are tender. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Serve sprinkled with dill or parsley.
