Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced (baby bella or white button)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups beef broth
- 10 oz egg noodles, uncooked
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Cook Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are browned and have released their moisture. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and keep them warm.
- Cook Beef and Onions: Add the ground beef and diced onions to the same skillet. Break up the beef with a spoon and cook for 4-5 minutes until fully browned and cooked through. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Add Worcestershire Sauce: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce to infuse the beef mixture with savory flavor.
- Incorporate Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the beef mixture and stir well until the flour is fully absorbed and no white spots remain, which will help thicken the sauce.
- Add Broth and Noodles: Pour in the beef broth, then add the uncooked egg noodles. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and have absorbed some of the flavors.
- Finish the Stroganoff: Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the cooked mushrooms and sour cream until everything is evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine before adding the broth.
- If sour cream is not available, Greek yogurt can be a substitute, but add it off the heat to prevent curdling.
- You can use any type of mushrooms you prefer; cremini or shiitake will add more depth to the dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- For a healthier twist, use lean ground beef or ground turkey and whole wheat egg noodles.
