I love Beef Stroganoff, but it can take a while to make it. This is a go to meal for me in the winter, but I bet it will be mighty tasty during the early spring or fall too.
Ingredients
Flank Steak
Thyme (5 sprigs)
Rosemary
4 T of unsalted butter
1 lb. mushrooms
3 cloves of garlic
2 T Sour Cream
1 T Dijion Mustard
Parsley
1 lb of egg noodles. Whatever kind you like, thick, thin…doesn’t matter.
OPTIONAL: Add onion.
This is really simple and should take about 25 minutes. Take the flank steak and add a little rosemary and thyme to cover. Dried spices will do the trick, but use fresh if you have it. You should be setup like this:
Take the flank steak and either do it on the stove or grill it. It doesn’t matter. Keep in mind it cooks quickly, about 4-5 minutes on each side regardless of saute or grill. You never want to cook flank steak past medium. The first pic is a solid medium.
Cut your mushrooms in quarters. I have tried slicing them here and I just think it tastes better with meatier mushrooms. Two count of olive oil, add a little rosemary and thyme. If your garlic is fresh, then add it now. If you are using the minced in a jar type, add it later. When finished, it should look like this.
Add 2 T of butter to the above. Low-medium heat. Add the 2 T of sour cream and the 1 T of dijon mustard. Fold it all together. Take the other 2 T of butter and toss it into the egg noodles, add a little parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
Add noodles to the plate, put the sauce on top and add the flank steak.
Most awesome quick version of a classic.

These are nice photos- and the recipe sounds great!
When my wife makes beef stoganoff, she uses filet mignon. It seems like a waste to take that cut of meat and drench it in a sauce, but it tastes so much better than the crappy stew meat most people use for it – and as you point out, a better cut of steak lets you cook up the whole dish much quicker. I may have to try it with flank steak though – I love flank steak.
Every time I hear beef stroganoff, I think of either the horrifying versions my elementary school cafeteria use to serve or the Hamburger Helper versions I used to eat every other week. Needless to say, I haven’t had it in a while but this version would almost be enough to get me to eat it again. Damn, now I’m hungry again.
