Instructions
Dutch Oven Magic
Set your Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Drop in 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt into a luscious pool of flavor.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over your thinly sliced beef. Toss it into the Dutch oven and let the magic happen. Sear each side until it's dancing with that golden brown goodness. This might take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, set the beef aside.
In the same Dutch oven, melt the remaining butter. Add the chopped onions, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic. Sauté until they're soft and singing the aromas of culinary heaven.
Flour Power
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, stirring continuously to create a roux. Let it cook for a couple of minutes; we're looking for that light golden color – the secret to a saucy masterpiece.
Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring to avoid lumps. This is where the symphony begins. Let it simmer and thicken, transforming into a velvety sauce that'll make your taste buds do the happy dance.
Dutch Oven Ballet
Introduce the seared beef back into the Dutch oven, letting it waltz in the flavors of the sauce. Adjust the salt and pepper to your liking.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it into the oven. Let the flavors mingle and dance for a good 1.5 to 2 hours. Go read a book, do a little dance – the Dutch oven is in control now.
Egg Noodle Symphony
While the Dutch oven works its magic, bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and toss in the egg noodles. Cook them until they're al dente – no one likes mushy noodles.
Once the noodles are cooked to perfection, drain them and combine them with the simmering stroganoff. Let them soak in the flavors like a sponge in a hot tub.
The Finale
Sour Cream Serenade: Take the Dutch oven out of the oven and let it cool for a moment. Stir in the sour cream – the final touch to this culinary symphony. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
