Beef Stroganoff Without Mushrooms is a creamy skillet dinner made with thin-sliced ribeye, sour cream, and a simple roux for a silky sauce with no canned soup required. This stovetop recipe is designed for families who love classic comfort food but prefer it without mushrooms or processed shortcuts. The quick sear on the steak keeps it tender, while the sour cream adds the signature tangy finish that makes stroganoff so comforting.
Boil egg noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a Dutch oven or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced ribeye steak, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until just browned but still pink in the center. Remove from pan.
Add the remaining olive oil and chopped onion. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the butter and stir until melted. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1–2 minutes to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the beef broth. Add Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5–6 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Remove pan from heat and let cool for 1–2 minutes. Stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Do not return to heat.
Return the steak to the pan and stir to coat. Warm through for 1–2 minutes. Serve over egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.
