Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 8 ounces (227 grams) egg noodles
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
Seasoning and Spices:
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking and Binding Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the egg noodles in salted water until perfectly al dente, then drain thoroughly and set aside, allowing excess moisture to evaporate.
- Heat a robust skillet and sear the ground beef over high temperature, breaking it into crumbly pieces until achieving a deep golden-brown crust. Transfer the meat to a separate plate, reserving the flavorful pan drippings.
- Melt rich butter in the same skillet, introducing finely chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté these aromatic vegetables until they transform into a soft, translucent mixture, releasing their natural earthy essence.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetable medley, stirring continuously to create a smooth, golden roux that will provide luxurious thickness to the sauce.
- Gradually pour beef broth into the skillet, whisking constantly to prevent any unwanted lumps from forming, creating a silky, rich base.
- Allow the sauce to simmer gently, reducing and concentrating its flavors until it reaches a velvety, coating consistency.
- Incorporate tangy sour cream, robust Worcestershire sauce, and warm paprika into the sauce, blending until completely smooth and uniform.
- Return the browned ground beef to the skillet, folding it into the creamy sauce and seasoning with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Gently fold the prepared egg noodles into the stroganoff, ensuring each strand is lavishly coated with the sumptuous sauce.
- Present the dish immediately, garnishing with delicate fresh parsley for a burst of color and bright flavor.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a healthier version of the dish.
- Swap regular beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives for lighter protein options.
- Toast flour briefly in the skillet to eliminate raw flour taste and enhance depth of flavor before adding broth.
- Allow sauce to simmer gently to prevent sour cream from curdling and maintain smooth, creamy texture.
