Thinly slice one pound of top sirloin steak.

Thickly slice half a pound of white or brown mushrooms.

Finely chop half of a medium onion.

Finely mince one large garlic clove.

Place a large deep pan or dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Add two tablespoons of oil to the pan.

Once the oil is hot, add the beef strips in a single layer.

Seer the beef without moving it around for about one minute per side or until cooked through.

Remove the beef to a separate bowl and cover to keep warm.

Melt in two tablespoons of butter in the same pan.

Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the pan.

Saute for six to seven minutes or until all the liquid is evaporated and the onions and mushrooms are soft and lightly brown.

Add the minced garlic and saute for another minute or until fragrant.

Sprinkle one tablespoon of flour over the vegetables and saute for another minute, stirring constantly.

Pour in one cup of beef broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan.

Add three-fourths cup of heavy whipping cream and bring everything to a simmer.

Stir a few tablespoons of the simmering sauce into the sour cream to temper it, then add it to the pan while whisking constantly.

Stir in one tablespoon of worcestershire sauce, half a teaspoon of dijon mustard, and season with half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper.

Bring the sauce back to a simmer until creamy.

Add the cooked beef back to the pan along with any accumulated juices and bring it back just to a simmer until the beef is heated through.

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, drain well, and set aside until ready to serve.

Serve the stroganoff over the buttered egg noodles and garnish with chopped chives.
