Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef provides protein and flavor
- 1 medium onion, diced adds sweetness and depth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced brings aroma and taste
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced adds earthiness and texture
- 1 teaspoon salt enhances flavors
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper adds spice
- 1 teaspoon paprika adds color and smokiness
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce adds savory depth
- 1 cup beef broth provides moisture and richness
- 1 cup sour cream makes the sauce creamy and tangy
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour helps thicken the sauce
- 8 ounces egg noodles perfect base for the dish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil used for sautéing
- to taste fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing the onion, mincing the garlic, and slicing the mushrooms.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Stir in sliced mushrooms, salt, black pepper, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well. Gradually add beef broth while stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until fully incorporated. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook egg noodles according to package instructions, drain, and serve beef stroganoff over noodles. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
Serve hot over egg noodles. Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables. To store leftovers, cool completely, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little water or broth to loosen the sauce. Consider using lean ground beef, adding more vegetables like bell peppers or peas, or substituting sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
