Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 8 ounces (226 grams) egg noodles
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasoning and Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set them aside for later use.
- Heat a large skillet and melt butter over medium temperature, introducing finely chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables become translucent and fragrant.
- Introduce ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles while cooking until the meat turns completely brown and loses its raw appearance.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the beef mixture, continuing to cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
- Evenly sprinkle flour over the beef and mushroom mixture, carefully stirring to ensure each ingredient is lightly coated and no dry flour remains.
- Gradually pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, continuously stirring to prevent lumps and encourage smooth sauce development.
- Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken, creating a rich consistency that coats the meat and vegetables evenly.
- Reduce heat and gently fold in sour cream, creating a creamy texture. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Warm the stroganoff thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are heated and flavors have melded together.
- Transfer the stroganoff over the prepared egg noodles, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Boost the umami flavor by using a mix of ground beef and ground pork for a richer taste profile.
- For a lighter version, swap regular ground beef with lean ground turkey or chicken to reduce fat content.
- Make this dish gluten-free by using cornstarch instead of flour and choosing gluten-free noodles or serving over cauliflower rice.
- Elevate the dish’s nutrition by adding extra veggies like spinach or bell peppers during the cooking process for added color and nutrients.
