Ingredients
- 1 lb 0.45 kg ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups 0.37 lb sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
- 1 tablespoon 0.03 L Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons 0.03 lb all-purpose flour
- 2 cups 0.47 L beef broth
- 1 cup 0.24 L sour cream
- 2 tablespoons 0.03 L cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 8 oz 0.5 lb egg noodles (or pasta of choice)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Beef
- In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add the onions and garlic to the beef and sauté for another 3–4 minutes until softened.
Step 2: Cook the Mushrooms
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Step 3: Add Seasonings and Flour
- Sprinkle the paprika and flour over the beef mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 4: Add Broth and Noodles
- Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the egg noodles to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth. Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
Step 5: Make the Sauce
- Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the sour cream and cream cheese (if using) until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish
- Remove from heat and let the stroganoff rest for a few minutes to thicken. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the stroganoff without the noodles and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add cooked noodles when reheating for a quick meal.
- Variations: Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Vegetarian Option: Use plant-based ground meat and vegetable broth for a meatless version.
- Serving Tip: Serve with a side of crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.
