Ingredients

• 8 oz fettuccine pasta
• 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Beef Stroganoff with Fettuccine

1. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef sirloin pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
4. Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until well combined. Add the beef back into the skillet and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Toss the cooked fettuccine in the sauce until well coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a good quality beef sirloin for tenderness and flavor.
• Don’t overcook the beef. It should be seared and then simmered briefly to keep it juicy.
• If you want a thicker sauce, let it simmer a little longer without the beef to reduce the liquid further.
• Fresh mushrooms add the best flavor, but you can use canned if you’re in a pinch.

Easy Variations

• Swap the fettuccine for egg noodles or rice for a different texture.
• Add veggies like spinach or peas for extra color and nutrition.
• For a bit of a kick, toss in some Worcestershire sauce or a dash of hot sauce.
• Make it lighter by using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

What to Serve With It

• A simple green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
• Garlic bread for soaking up the creamy sauce.
• Steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans for a pop of color and nutrition.
• A glass of red wine to complement the rich flavors.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover beef stroganoff can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the sauce as needed.
