Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) mushrooms, sliced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 cup (237 milliliters) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Pasta:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) cooked egg noodles
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet at medium temperature, sautéing chopped onions and sliced mushrooms until they become translucent and tender.
- Introduce ground beef to the skillet, methodically crumbling the meat with a wooden spoon and cooking until it achieves a rich, uniform brown color.
- Eliminate excess fat from the skillet by carefully draining the rendered grease.
- Evenly distribute flour across the beef mixture, thoroughly incorporating it to create a light coating.
- Stream beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the pan, continuously stirring to prevent lumps and encourage smooth thickening of the sauce.
- Reduce heat to low, gently fold in sour cream until fully integrated, allowing the stroganoff to simmer for approximately 5 minutes to meld flavors.
- Transfer the creamy beef mixture over prepared egg noodles, creating an inviting presentation.
- Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a vibrant garnish and added freshness.
Notes
- Customize the meat selection by using ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a lighter or vegetarian version.
- Reduce sodium by choosing low-sodium beef broth and checking Worcestershire sauce salt content.
- Keep mushrooms extra crispy by sautéing them separately and adding them back into the sauce just before serving to maintain their texture.
- Boost flavor complexity by adding a splash of white wine or a pinch of smoked paprika during the cooking process for deeper, more nuanced taste notes.
