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

  1. Prepare egg noodles according to package directions, then drain and reserve.
  2. Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then brown ground beef thoroughly, crumbling the meat while cooking. Eliminate excess grease.
  3. Incorporate diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms into the skillet, sautéing until vegetables become tender and translucent, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  4. Dust the meat and vegetable mixture with flour, stirring continuously to create an even coating and prevent clumping.
  5. 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.
  6. Allow the sauce to simmer for 6-7 minutes, gently reducing and thickening while stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  7. Remove skillet from heat and fold in sour cream until the sauce transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
  8. 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.
