Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe with Butter Noodles (2024)

ThisEasy Beef Stroganoff Recipe with Butter Noodlesis a speedy way to get yourstroganoff fix. Plus it makes a marvelous holiday dinner!

Sometimes I watch my daughter in wonder.

She will decide that we are having “party night” and goes about the house making decorations, invitations, signs, and appetizers. She’ll even make or find little trinkets to put in goodie bags. Then after dinner, the rest of us are herded into the living room to join her party.

Ava does this sort of thing regularly. She plans to play a board game and either pull outallthe games and makes it an event, or spends hours creating a new board game. She chooses to play “restaurant” and turns our house up-side-down in order to design the perfect dining room and kitchen. She even makes room cleaning an elaborate affair!

Where did she get this extreme all-or-nothing quality?

Oh, yes… The finger is pointed in my direction.

My parents would say I was exactly like that when I was little.

We don’t cook a lot of heavy, starchy meals.

It’s not that we don’t enjoy potatoes and pasta dishes. I guess I’m just always trying to compensate for the abundance of desserts in our house! However, when I do make a carb-acious meal, I don’t want to cut corners on flavor or fat. I figure, as long as you’re making a heavy meal… Make a HEAVY meal.

The only area I am ever willing to cut corners on is time. My time is precious to me. Although I love to spend it in the kitchen, the more I do, the fewer imaginary parties I get to attend!

This SlicedBeef Stroganoff Recipe with Butter Noodlesis a recipe I developed specifically for my original cooking class several years ago.

The ladies always requested quick, fresh meals they could throw together once they got home from work. I took my slow-cooking traditional Beef Stroganoff recipe and revamped it for speed.

The result? A full-bodied, full-flavored, all-or-nothing dish in a fraction of the time!

How to Make Our Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Ingredients

• Thick Steak (New York strip, filet, ribeye…)
• Wide Egg Noodles
• Olive Oil
• Butter – divided
• All-Purpose Flour
• Shallots – thinly sliced
• Mushrooms – sliced
• Minced Garlic Cloves
• Fresh Chopped Thyme Leaves
• Dijon Mustard
• Beef Stock
• Cognac
• Sour Cream
• Chopped Parsley

Instructions

Place a large pot of water on high heat and bring it to a boil. In a separate large saucepan combine oil, 2 tablespoons butter, and the flour over medium-high heat. Whisk well to eliminate clumps. Add the sliced onions and stir for 2-3 minutes.

Add the mushrooms, garlic, 2 tablespoons thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Move around the pan continuously for 5 minutes or so, until the mushrooms have started to soften. Then add cognac, beef stock, and Dijon mustard. Mix well, and let the sauce simmer for another 15-30 minutes. (Until reduced to a dark color with a thin gravy texture.)

Meanwhile, preheat the grill or a skillet to high heat. Rub the steaks with oil, salt, pepper, and thyme. Grill 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness (1 1/2 inches = 5 minutes per side.)

Boil the noodles according to the package directions. After draining, add 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon parsley, and salt to taste. Cover and set aside.

After the steaks have rested for 5 minutes, slice them into thin strips. Add the sour cream to the sauce and whisk well. Salt and pepper the sauce to taste. Immediately plate the noodles topped with sauce. Then lay the steak across the top. Garnish with extra parsley!

Recipe Tips and Tricks

What really speeds up this Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe with Butter Noodles is the cut of meat.

Most Beef Stroganoff recipes call for a lower-quality cut that needs to be slow-cooked to break down and tenderize.

By simply using a better cut of beef, you cut out hours of cooking time! This Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe with Butter Noodles can be made in less than 30 minutes if you’re a good chopper. Or you could buy pre-sliced mushrooms, I won’t tell.

Note, I’m not a fan of the super thick gravy-like stroganoff sauce you find in some recipes.

This Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe with Butter Noodles includes sour cream to give the sauce a tangy note and silky texture but is not thick. If you love a thick sauce you can double the amount of flour used below.

You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
