Season the beef slices with salt and black pepper, then lightly coat them with all-purpose flour.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef slices on both sides until browned, working in batches if necessary. Remove the beef and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes until they release their liquid and become golden brown.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the seared beef to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the beef to absorb the flavors and heat through.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the sour cream, ensuring it is fully incorporated into the sauce. Do not let the sauce boil to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain the noodles and toss them with 2 tablespoons of butter and the poppy seeds.
Serve the beef stroganoff over the poppy seed noodles, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
