How to Make One Pan Steak Diane Stroganoff
Step 1: Sear the Steak
Season the steak strips with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak to a plate.

Reduce heat to medium.
Add butter, mushrooms, and onions to the skillet. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until softened and golden brown.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Step 3: Build the Sauce
Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, tomato paste, thyme, and paprika.
Stir until combined.
Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 4: Cook the Noodles
Add the egg noodles directly to the skillet.
Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 5: Finish the Stroganoff

Stir together the sour cream and heavy cream, then add to the skillet.
Return the steak and any accumulated juices to the pan.
