Instructions
- 1Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is foaming (about 1 minute). Add the diced onion with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, 3–4 minutes.
- 2Season the top sirloin steak (cut into bite-sized pieces) with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 4–6 minutes. The meat should show no pink on the exterior.
- 3Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Pour in half the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits.
- 4Add the cremini mushrooms and sprinkle the flour over the top. Stir until evenly incorporated, then pour in the remaining beef broth. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- 5Meanwhile, cook the whole wheat egg noodles separately in salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente (typically 8–10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- 6Remove the stroganoff from heat and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Stir in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- 7Fold the cooked noodles into the stroganoff and stir gently to combine.
- 8Divide evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot. Garnish each portion with fresh parsley before serving, or store without garnish and add fresh parsley when reheating.
