Perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy dinner party, this recipe promises to satisfy cravings and leave your kitchen filled with mouthwatering aromas.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, crumble it into small pieces, and set it aside. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.
Cut the beef sirloin steak into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat the skillet with the bacon grease over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and mostly cooked through. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the diced onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the mushrooms and stir until coated. Slowly pour in the beef broth while continually stirring to avoid lumps. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, and remaining salt and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy sauce.
Return the cooked beef and crumbled bacon to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the sauce. Simmer on low for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
While the sauce simmers, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions in salted boiling water. Drain the noodles and toss them with a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
Serve the Texas Bacon Stroganoff over the egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
