This is the recipe I use and I serve it over big, wide egg noodles.

INGREDIENTS
1 (16 ounce) package egg noodles (wide)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 pound beef loin steak, cut into thin strips
1 (14 ounce) can beef consomme
1/4 cup Burgundy wine (optional)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cold water, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream

DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook until slightly tender. Mix in mushrooms, and continue cooking 2 minutes. Place steak strips in saucepan and cook about 1 minute. Mix in consomme, Burgundy and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
In a small bowl, thoroughly blend flour with cold water until smooth. Reduce saucepan heat to low. While stirring constantly, slowly pour flour mixture into saucepan. Gradually return to boil while stirring rapidly, until sauce is thick and smooth. Cover saucepan and continue cooking 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, let cool slightly and stir in sour cream....Show more

This recipe is simple and scrumptious. Can be served with noodles or rice. "Real" beef stroganoff does not use ground meat, and I don't subscribe to the versions that use tomato sauce/paste. Wine added to the sauce is optional.

I love stroganoff too. This recipe says to use beef broth, but I like using the Campbell's double-strength beef consomme instead. It's richer, and a little thicker. Oh...I have to have mine over egg noodles, but my Cuban hubby asks for rice.

I've always made it pretty basic, but it comes out good. Fry about a pound of ground beef, season it with a couple shakes of seasoning salt and onion powder, and a little bit of garlic powder. I love pepper, so I put a good 4 or 5 shakes of it in.
Add 1 can of Campell's cream of mushroom soup and one can of water, stir it in. Then add 8 oz of sour cream, preferably Daisy. Stir in til nice and smooth.
Serve over egg noodles, I always use the extra wide ones....Show more

* 1 2 1/2-pound piece beef tenderloin, well trimmed, meat cut into 2x1x1/2 inch strips
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
* 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
* 1 pound small button mushrooms, thickly sliced
* 1 cup canned beef broth
* 2 tablespoons Cognac
* 3/4 cup crème fraîche or whipping cream
* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
* 12 ounces wide egg noodles
* 1 tablespoon paprika

Pat meat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat until very hot. Working in batches, add meat in single layer and cook just until brown on outside, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until tender, scraping up browned bits, about 2 minutes. Add button mushrooms. Sprinkle with pepper and sauté until liquid evaporates, about 12 minutes. Add beef broth, then Cognac. Simmer until liquid thickens and just coats mushrooms, about 14 minutes. Stir in crème fraîche and Dijon mustard. Add meat and any accumulated juices from baking sheet. Simmer over medium-low heat until meat is heated through but still medium-rare, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl. Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Divide noodles among plates. Top with beef and sauce. Sprinkle generously with paprika....Show more
