Avoid overcrowding the pan while browning the meat so each piece can develop a nice crust. The brown bits = flavor.
The beef is steak so it doesn’t need to be cooked all the way through. It can (and should) be a little bit pink inside. If it’s overcooked it won’t be tender.
When making the sauce, scrape up the little brown bits in the pan. Using the same pan that you’ve used to sear the beef adds lots of flavor to this dish.
Thicken the sauce if needed with a cornstarch slurry (combine equal parts cornstarch and water and add to boiling sauce a little at a time).
Add the sour cream at the end and cook just until heated. Boiling it can cause it to curdle.
Leftovers?
If keeping leftovers, store the noodles separate from the stroganoff. Store beef stroganoff in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze portions without egg noodles (they get mushy in the freezer) in zippered bags for up to 4 weeks and thaw in the refrigerator until ready to reheat on the stove.
