Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup beef broth
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
Other Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces (226 grams) egg noodles
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside in a warm location.
- Heat a large skillet over medium temperature and brown ground beef, breaking into crumbly pieces while cooking. Eliminate excess grease from the pan.
- Incorporate chopped onions, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms into the skillet. Sauté for approximately 6 minutes until vegetables become translucent and tender.
- Dust the meat and vegetable mixture with flour, stirring continuously for about 60 seconds to develop a golden, fragrant base.
- Gradually pour beef broth into the skillet, followed by Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Gently stir and allow the mixture to simmer and slightly thicken.
- Reduce cooking temperature to low and fold in sour cream, creating a creamy, rich sauce. Continue simmering for 4-5 minutes until sauce reaches desired consistency.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance overall flavor profile.
- Transfer cooked noodles to serving plates, generously ladle stroganoff sauce over top, and garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a cleaner, lighter sauce.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend when creating the roux.
- Consider adding a splash of white wine during the sautéing stage to enhance the depth of flavor and create a more complex taste profile.
- Swap traditional beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives to accommodate different dietary preferences without compromising the dish’s rich, creamy texture.
