# Step-by-Step:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and optionally toss with a pat of butter.
02 - In a bowl, mix beef strips with flour, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches for 1 to 2 minutes until browned but not fully cooked. Remove and keep aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add remaining butter and sauté the chopped onion for 2 minutes until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook for approximately 5 minutes until golden and released moisture. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
05 - Deglaze the pan with white wine or broth, scraping browned bits from the bottom. Stir in tomato paste and Dijon mustard. Pour in beef broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes.
06 - Reduce heat to low. Incorporate sour cream, stirring gently to create a smooth sauce without boiling. Return seared beef along with juices to the skillet and cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes until beef is cooked through.
07 - Plate the creamy beef stroganoff over the prepared egg noodles and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
