Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables:
- 2 cups (474 milliliters) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 2 cups (474 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 cup (237 milliliters) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Optional Serving:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) egg noodles
Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no pink remains, then drain off excess fat.
- Incorporate diced onions and sliced mushrooms into the skillet, sautéing until vegetables become translucent and tender.
- Season the meat mixture with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, allowing flavors to meld for approximately 2 minutes.
- Dust the skillet contents with flour, carefully stirring to create a uniform coating that will help thicken the sauce.
- Slowly stream beef broth into the skillet, whisking continuously to prevent lumps and create a smooth, rich sauce.
- Reduce heat to low and gently fold in sour cream, creating a creamy texture and allowing the stroganoff to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Once the sauce reaches a desired consistency, remove from heat and serve immediately over warm egg noodles or fluffy rice.
Notes
- Lean Meat Selection: Choose ground beef with 85% or 90% lean content for a healthier version without compromising flavor.
- Quick Texture Trick: Pat ground beef dry before cooking to achieve better browning and prevent excess moisture.
- Dietary Modification: Swap traditional egg noodles with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for low-carb alternatives.
- Flavor Enhancement: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a dollop of Dijon mustard for deeper, more complex taste profile.
