Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) mushrooms, sliced
Cooking and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup (237 milliliters) sour cream
- 12 ounces (340 grams) egg noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat and sizzle ground beef with seasonings until it develops a rich, caramelized exterior, then transfer to a separate plate.
- Use the same skillet to gently soften onions and garlic, releasing their aromatic essence, then introduce mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden.
- Dust the vegetable mixture with flour, stirring constantly to create a light coating that will help thicken the sauce, then gradually pour in beef broth while whisking to eliminate any lumps.
- Enhance the sauce with Worcestershire sauce, allowing it to simmer and develop depth of flavor, then reintroduce the browned beef to the skillet.
- Lower the heat and fold in sour cream, creating a luxurious, velvety texture that gently coats the meat and vegetables without curdling.
- Simultaneously, prepare egg noodles in boiling water until they reach al dente perfection, then drain thoroughly and fold into the creamy stroganoff mixture.
- Plate immediately while piping hot, optionally garnishing with fresh parsley for a vibrant touch of color and herbal brightness.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef for a healthier version, reducing overall fat content without compromising flavor.
- Replace traditional egg noodles with whole wheat or gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Add a splash of white wine during mushroom sautéing to enhance depth and complexity of the sauce.
- Enhance protein content by incorporating additional vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
