🥩 Creamy Beef Stroganoff — Comfort in Every Bite!
There’s something truly comforting about a classic Beef Stroganoff — tender slices of beef in a rich, creamy sauce with mushrooms and onions, all spooned over warm egg noodles 🍜. This version is not only hearty and satisfying but also protein-packed and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
💪 Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- High in protein thanks to lean beef tenderloin.
- Creamy yet light — uses low-fat sour cream and cream cheese.
- Quick and simple — ready in about 30 minutes!
- Perfectly balanced flavors of mustard, wine, and Worcestershire for that signature tang.
🍳 Cooking Notes
When browning the beef, make sure not to overcrowd the pan — it helps lock in flavor and keeps the meat juicy. Deglazing with white wine lifts all the delicious fond (brown bits) from the pan, creating a deeper sauce base.
Adding sour cream and cream cheese at the end ensures your sauce stays smooth and silky without curdling. 😋
🍄 Serving Ideas
Serve this creamy beef stroganoff over buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or even cauliflower mash for a low-carb twist. Pair with a side of steamed greens or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
🧂 Storage Tips
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm gently over low heat; add a splash of broth or milk to loosen the sauce.
- Freeze: Not ideal due to dairy, but you can freeze the beef and sauce separately before adding sour cream.
