Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Pantry and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and brown the ground beef until fully cooked, approximately 6-7 minutes. Transfer meat to a separate plate.
- In the same skillet, sauté finely chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Dust the softened onions with flour, stirring continuously to create a smooth coating. Gradually pour beef broth while whisking to prevent clumping and create a silky sauce.
- Incorporate Worcestershire sauce and allow the mixture to simmer for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens and develops a rich consistency.
- Reduce heat to low and gently fold in sour cream until completely integrated, creating a creamy texture.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet, mixing thoroughly to combine with the sauce.
- Add prepared egg noodles directly into the skillet, allowing them to absorb the sauce and become tender, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Remove from heat and let the stroganoff rest for 1-2 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Meat Browning Tip: Ensure the ground beef is thoroughly browned to develop rich, deep flavors and prevent a bland taste.
- Flour Coating Technique: Sprinkle flour evenly and stir quickly to create a smooth base for the sauce without clumping.
- Sour Cream Secret: Add sour cream off the heat to prevent curdling and maintain a silky, creamy texture.
- Low-Carb Adaptation: Replace egg noodles with spiralized zucchini or cauliflower rice for a lighter, keto-friendly version.
