Instructions
-
1. Cook the noodles
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sear the beef
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 3 tablespoons butter. Season the steak with salt and pepper and sear quickly until browned.
3. Cook the shallots
Add sliced shallots to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly caramelized. Transfer beef and shallots to a bowl and set aside.
4. Cook the mushrooms
Add remaining butter to the skillet and sauté mushrooms until golden and tender.
5. Make the sauce
Return the beef and shallots to the skillet. Add blue cheese, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, tarragon, and cream. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
6. Finish the stroganoff
Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream. Add cooked egg noodles and toss until everything is coated in the creamy sauce.
Serve immediately.
Notes
-
Slice the steak thinly for the most tender stroganoff.
-
Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.
-
If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute gorgonzola for the blue cheese.
