  • Impressive Presentation: Poached egg adds elegance to the dish.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fettuccine
  • 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into thin strips
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large eggs (for poaching)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Creamy Beef Stroganoff Pasta

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water for later.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and garlic until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and browned, about 5 minutes.
  5. Return the beef to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Mix until the sauce is creamy and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
  7. Toss the cooked fettuccine into the sauce, ensuring each strand is well coated.
  8. While the pasta is being tossed, poach the eggs. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a splash of vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  9. Serve the creamy beef stroganoff pasta warm, topped with a poached egg and garnished with chopped parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for even cooking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking beef; cook in batches if necessary.
  • For a richer flavor, consider using beef stock instead of broth.
  • Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more or less pasta water.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute ground beef for sirloin for a budget-friendly option.
  • Add spinach or peas for an extra pop of color and nutrition.
  • For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
  • Swap fettuccine for egg noodles or even zoodles for a low-carb twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A side salad with a light vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
  • Garlic bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
