Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef

Vegetables:

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups (473 milliliters) mushrooms, sliced

Seasoning and Thickeners:

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Liquid Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (473 milliliters) beef broth
  • 1 cup (237 milliliters) sour cream

Cooking Fat:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Pasta:

  • 12 ounces (340 grams) egg noodles, cooked

Instructions

  1. Warm a spacious skillet over medium temperature, introducing olive oil for a smooth sauté.
  2. Introduce ground beef to the pan, browning thoroughly and eliminating any surplus fat through careful draining.
  3. Incorporate diced onions and sliced mushrooms, allowing them to soften and release their aromatic essence.
  4. Dust the mixture with flour and paprika, gently toasting for approximately 2 minutes to develop rich, complex flavors.
  5. Pour beef broth gradually while continuously whisking, preventing potential lumpy textures and creating a smooth, velvety sauce.
  6. Allow the sauce to simmer and gradually thicken, developing an intense, robust consistency.
  7. Reduce heat to minimal setting and gently fold in sour cream, warming the mixture without allowing it to boil and potentially separate.
  8. Enhance with subtle salt and pepper seasoning, adjusting to personal taste preferences.
  9. Transfer the luscious stroganoff over prepared egg noodles, creating a comforting and elegant main course.
  10. Optional: Sprinkle fresh parsley as a vibrant, verdant garnish to elevate the dish’s visual appeal and add a fresh herbal note.

Notes

  • Drain beef thoroughly to prevent a greasy dish and ensure a crisp, clean flavor.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for a richer, creamier texture that enhances the overall taste profile.
  • Slice mushrooms uniformly to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture throughout the stroganoff.
  • Opt for low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels and adjust seasoning according to personal preference.
