Classic beef stroganoff is transformed into a hearty, yet light soup. And no need to cook the noodles first, because it’s all made in one pot. Easy weeknight dinner!
1poundbeef sirloin, trimmed of fat, thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
salt and pepper
8ouncessliced crimini mushrooms
1mediumsweet onion, diced
3clovesgarlic, minced
2tablespoonstomato paste
1tablespoonWorcestershire sauce
5cupslow-sodium beef stock(or chicken stock)
1 1/2cupsdried egg noodles
1/2cupsour cream
2tablespoonsall-purpose flour
chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large pot or dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the meat with some salt and pepper to taste; add to the pot and give it a quick sear, 1-2 minutes on each side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat to a bowl; keep warm. (At this stage the beef will still have specs of pink. Don't worry! It will finish cooking in the soup.)
Add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the pot; saute until the vegetables have softened, about 3 minutes. Season with a touch of salt and pepper.
Stir in the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce.
Pour in the beef stock; bring to a boil.
Add in the dried noodles. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until al dente.
In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine the sour cream and flour. Whisk in 1 cup of the hot soup until combined; pour mixture back into the pot. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
Add the seared meat back to the pot and simmer for a few more minutes to cook through.
Taste, and adjust seasoning with a little more salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve in individual bowls with some fresh chopped parsley.
