Ingredients

• 1 pound venison or beef, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.75 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 quart water (for boiling noodles)
• 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling noodles)

Directions

Step 1

Season the venison or beef slices with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned meat and cook in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not fully cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Stir in 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce and return the browned meat (and any accumulated juices) to the skillet. Simmer everything together for 8-10 minutes until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Meanwhile, bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a large pot, adding 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.

Step 11

Serve the stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired.
