Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) egg noodles
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles according to package directions, then drain and reserve.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then brown ground beef thoroughly, crumbling the meat while cooking. Eliminate excess grease.
- Incorporate diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms into the skillet, sautéing until vegetables become tender and translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Dust the meat and vegetable mixture with flour, stirring continuously to create an even coating and prevent clumping.
- Slowly pour beef broth into the skillet, mixing carefully to integrate smoothly. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for 6-7 minutes, gently reducing and thickening while stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Remove skillet from heat and fold in sour cream until the sauce transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the stroganoff over prepared egg noodles, optionally garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
Notes
- Select lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a lighter dish.
- Sauté mushrooms separately first to enhance their natural umami flavor and prevent soggy texture.
- Use full-fat sour cream for richer, smoother sauce consistency and better binding.
- Substitute egg noodles with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for low-carb or gluten-free variations.
