Ingredients
Scale
Primary Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 8 ounces (226 grams) egg noodles
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
Seasoning and Sauce Components:
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles according to package directions, then set aside in a warm location.
- Heat a large skillet and thoroughly brown ground beef, fragmenting the meat into uniform crumbles while removing excess fat.
- Introduce finely chopped onions and minced garlic into the skillet, sautéing until they become translucent and aromatic.
- Incorporate sliced mushrooms, cooking until they release their moisture and develop a golden, tender texture.
- Evenly dust the meat and vegetable mixture with flour, stirring continuously to create a light coating.
- Gradually pour beef broth into the skillet, whisking methodically to prevent any lumpy formations in the sauce.
- Allow the mixture to simmer, reducing and thickening the sauce for approximately 5-7 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in sour cream, creating a rich and creamy consistency.
- Season the stroganoff with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to personal taste preferences.
- Combine the prepared egg noodles with the beef mixture, ensuring each strand is generously coated with the savory sauce.
- Transfer the stroganoff to serving plates, garnishing with finely chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finish.
- Serve immediately while the dish remains warm and inviting.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a lighter dish.
- Swap regular egg noodles with gluten-free or whole wheat noodles for dietary accommodations.
- Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt content and create a healthier version.
- Enhance flavor by adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika for depth and complexity.
