How to Make Beef Stroganoff With Make Ahead Directions

  1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté 1 pound of beef (sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced) in two batches, until browned. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same pan. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms until softened. Remove and set aside with the beef.
  3. Cook 1 pound egg noodles according to package directions.
  4. In the same pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  7. Add the cooked beef, mushrooms, and onions to the sauce. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of dry sherry (optional).
  9. Stir in 1 cup sour cream. Serve immediately over the drained egg noodles.
