Spare Spoons Kitchen
A weeknight stroganoff where the sauce does the work — browned mushrooms and a tangy sour-cream gravy over egg noodles — and Costco's pre-cooked sirloin folds in at the end, tender, in a minute flat.
The sauce is the recipe — brown the mushrooms well and don't crowd the pan, or they steam instead of browning. That deep color is the savory base.
Sour cream breaks if it boils. Off the heat is the safe move; if you reheat leftovers, keep it to a bare simmer.
The pre-cooked sirloin means no browning or simmering meat — it folds in tender, in under a minute.
Over egg noodles is classic, but rice, mashed potatoes, or wide pappardelle all work. A splash of white wine or a spoon of tomato paste deepens the sauce.
Another quick use for the same Costco sirloin: French Dip Sandwiches.
Gluten-free: use gluten-free egg noodles (or serve over rice or mashed potatoes), thicken with a 1-tbsp cornstarch slurry instead of flour, and use gluten-free broth and Worcestershire.
Vegetarian: skip the beef, double the mushrooms (a mix of cremini plus a few dried porcini is excellent), and use vegetable broth — a classic mushroom stroganoff.
