Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
Pasta:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) egg noodles, cooked and drained
Garnish:
- Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a spacious skillet over medium temperature and thoroughly brown the ground beef, ensuring no pink remains. Discard any excess fat to maintain a clean, lean base for the dish.
- Without cleaning the skillet, introduce a touch of olive oil if the surface appears dry. Tumble in finely chopped onions and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until they transform into a soft, fragrant medley.
- Infuse the vegetable mixture with minced garlic, allowing its aromatic essence to permeate the ingredients for a brief moment.
- Dust the vegetables with flour, gently coating each piece and stirring to eliminate any raw flour undertones. This technique creates a robust foundation for the sauce.
- Gradually cascade beef broth into the skillet, whisking consistently to prevent lumpy formations. Enhance the liquid with Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper for a complex flavor profile.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently, reducing and thickening into a luxurious sauce that clings beautifully to the meat and vegetables.
- Reintroduce the cooked ground beef into the skillet, folding it seamlessly into the developing sauce.
- Remove the skillet from heat and swirl in sour cream, creating a silky, rich texture that transforms the dish into a creamy delight.
- Present the stroganoff atop a bed of tender egg noodles, optionally embellishing with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Trim excess fat from ground beef to reduce grease and create a leaner dish for health-conscious eaters.
- Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt intake and create a more balanced flavor profile.
- Swap traditional egg noodles with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for a gluten-free and low-carb alternative that keeps the meal light and nutritious.
- Let the sour cream sit at room temperature before adding to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth, creamy sauce that coats the beef perfectly.
