How to Make Beef Stroganoff
1. Prepare the Steak
Cut the steak into small, bite-sized cubes. Season with salt, pepper, baking soda, and olive oil.
Let the seasoned beef rest for at least 15 minutes. The small amount of baking soda helps tenderize the meat and can contribute to better browning.
2. Cook the Onions and Mushrooms
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.
Add the sliced onion and cook until it begins to soften and lightly caramelize. Add the baby Bella mushrooms and continue cooking until the mushrooms develop a beautiful golden-brown color.
Transfer the mushrooms and onions to a plate and set aside.
3. Sear the Beef
Using the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the steak. Sear the beef until it develops a deep brown color on the outside.
Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
4. Deglaze the Pan
Pour the red wine into the skillet and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Those browned bits add extra depth and savory flavor to the stroganoff sauce.
5. Simmer the Beef
Return the seared beef to the skillet.
Add the beef bone broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, thyme, rosemary, and garlic.
Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat until the beef becomes tender.
6. Make the Creamy Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
Uncover the skillet and return the cooked mushrooms and onions to the pan. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and allow the sauce to thicken.
Reduce the heat and add the sour cream. Stir gently until incorporated and the sauce becomes creamy.
7. Add the Egg Noodles
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and gently toss everything together so the noodles are coated in the creamy beef stroganoff sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Beef Stroganoff
Don't overcrowd the pan. Sear the beef in batches if necessary so it browns instead of steaming.
Brown the mushrooms well. Allowing the mushrooms and onions to develop some color adds extra savory flavor.
Scrape the pan. Deglazing with red wine helps loosen the flavorful browned bits left from searing the beef.
Add sour cream over lower heat. This helps create a smooth, creamy sauce.
Adjust the sauce consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of beef broth. If it's too thin, allow it to simmer briefly or add a little more cornstarch slurry.
What to Serve with Beef Stroganoff

Chuck steak can work well when cooked until tender. Other suitable cuts include sirloin or other tender steak cuts. The cooking method and thickness of the beef will affect the final texture.
