Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 pound beef sirloin, sliced into thin strips
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Beef Stroganoff Pasta with Poached Egg
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and season with salt and pepper. Sear the beef for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir for about 1 minute to cook the flour. Gradually add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until well combined. Return the cooked beef to the skillet and mix everything together. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- While the sauce is simmering, poach the eggs. In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, until the white is set and the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- To serve, divide the fettuccine among plates, top with the beef stroganoff sauce, and finish with a poached egg. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a good quality beef sirloin for tenderness and flavor.
- Don’t skip the Worcestershire sauce; it adds depth to the sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer before adding the sour cream.
- For perfectly poached eggs, ensure the water is simmering gently and add a splash of vinegar to help the egg whites set quickly.
Easy Variations
- Swap out beef for chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
- Add spinach or kale for a pop of color and nutrition.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a healthier alternative.
- Experiment with different types of pasta, such as penne or rigatoni.
What to Serve With It
- A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Garlic bread or crusty baguette for dipping in the sauce.
- Steamed vegetables, such as broccoli or green beans, for added nutrition.
