Ingredients

  • 12 oz. extra-wide egg noodles
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter separated
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1- lb. flank steak
  • 1 cup diced crimini mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup red wine
  • 1/2 large white onion minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons white whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add egg noodles and stir periodically until the noodles are cooked to al dente. Strain noodles, rinse them in cold water, and set them aside for later. 
  • Prepare the flank steak by placing the beef on a cutting board and covering it with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Pound the flank steak with a meat tenderizer until it is about 1-inch think. Slice the flank steak into thin strips against the grain of the meat. 
  • Place the beef strips into a bowl and sprinkle with garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Mix everything together so that all of the beef is covered in spices.

  • Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium/high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. When the butter is melted and begins to bubble add the beef strips to the pan and sear them for 30 seconds. This is important. You do not want to overcook your meat. It will continue to cook when you add it to the stroganoff sauce.

  • Remove beef from the pan and set aside making sure to keep all the juices with the beef, too.  
  • Add another tablespoon of butter to the pan over medium/high heat. When the butter is melted add the crimini mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes.

  • Deglaze the pan with the red wine and toss the mushrooms with the red wine. 
  • Next, add the white onion and garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the onions are translucent. 
  • Add the last 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and stir. When the butter is melted add the flour to the mushroom mixture and mix until everything is covered in flour. 
  • Slowly add 1 cup of beef broth to the pan whisking everything together. The sauce should thicken quickly. 
  • Turn heat to medium/low and add in the sour cream, Greek yogurt, and Worcestershire. Whisk everything together. Slowly add in the last cup of beef broth, fresh thyme, and the rest of the salt.

Tips & Notes

  • Greek yogurt/sour cream: you can easily substitute one for the other. So, feel free to use all sour cream or all Greek yogurt.
  • If you want to substitute some of the beef broth or red wine in this recipe we suggest using starchy pasta water. It is salted and starchy so will help thicken the sauce. Before you strain the pasta, remove 1 cup of pasta water for later.
  • We recommend keeping the stroganoff sauce separate from the noodles if you are not eating this meal right away.
