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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Infuse the vegetable mixture with minced garlic, allowing its aromatic essence to permeate the ingredients for a brief moment.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, reducing and thickening into a luxurious sauce that clings beautifully to the meat and vegetables.
  7. Reintroduce the cooked ground beef into the skillet, folding it seamlessly into the developing sauce.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat and swirl in sour cream, creating a silky, rich texture that transforms the dish into a creamy delight.
  9. 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.
