The Short Version
Stroganoff is a Russian dish of beef in a soured cream sauce, and the bake version gives it a golden lid. It trades the stove-top finish for a casserole that can be made ahead.
Slice the beef thinly across the grain, which keeps it tender, and brown it quickly in a very hot pan in two batches. Overcrowding the pan makes the meat stew and turn grey, so be patient. Set it aside.
Cook the mushrooms in the same pan for 6 minutes until they have released their water and begun to brown. Add the onion, garlic and paprika, then a spoonful of flour, and pour in the stock.
Off the heat, stir in the soured cream and mustard. Boiling it would split the sauce. Fold in the beef and noodles, tip into a dish, top with the breadcrumbs and cook at 190°C for 20 minutes. If your oven runs hot, check at 15 minutes. Scatter with parsley.
