Instructions:

  1. Season beef slices with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add beef slices to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and cook until mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens.
  6. Stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Return beef slices to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
  7. Serve beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this creamy Russian classic!
