Instructions:
-
Marinate the Beef Strips: The night before cooking, marinate your beef strips using your preferred marinade. If needed, you can find a suitable marinade recipe on this site.
-
-
Prepare the Egg Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain them and set aside.
-
Sauté the Onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté the sweet onions until they become translucent. Keep the butter and onions together in the skillet; do not drain them, as you’ll want to retain the flavor.
-
Cook the Beef Strips: In the same skillet, cook the marinated beef strips in Worcestershire sauce over low to medium heat until they are fully cooked. Once done, drain off the excess juices from the beef and set them aside to cool. Be sure to save the drained juices for later use.
-
Prepare the Sour Cream Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cooled beef juices, and cream cheese. Mix well using a mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Combine Ingredients: In an extra-large skillet or soup pot, combine the cooked egg noodles, cooked beef strips, sautéed onions in butter, sliced mushrooms, water chestnuts, peas, and the prepared sour cream mixture. Add your preferred spices to taste.
-
Simmer: Simmer the mixture over low heat until it becomes hot and bubbly, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly heated.
-
Optional Baking: If desired, transfer the prepared stroganoff mixture into a large casserole dish. Sprinkle shredded Parmesan or mozzarella cheese on top, and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once ready, serve your delicious beef stroganoff hot, accompanied by a fresh salad and your choice of yeast rolls or garlic bread.
