Main Ingredients
- 1 lb beef stew meat
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 8 oz egg noodles, cooked separately
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. This seals in the flavor and starts tenderizing the meat.
- Add the soup mixes: Stir in the can of cream of mushroom soup and the packet of onion soup mix with the browned beef, mixing well to combine and create a flavorful sauce base.
- Simmer the mixture: Reduce the heat to low and let the beef and sauce mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
- Incorporate sour cream: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup of sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Be careful not to boil after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Cook the noodles: Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions in a separate pot until al dente. Drain well.
- Combine and serve: Serve the creamy beef stroganoff sauce over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a more tender beef, consider simmering longer on low heat.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or onions for extra flavor and texture.
- Use wide egg noodles or pasta shapes like pappardelle for an authentic feel.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat gently on stovetop.
