Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the Beef and Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and then drain the excess grease. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the onions become translucent and mushrooms are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Make the Stroganoff Sauce: Melt the butter in the same skillet with the beef and vegetables. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef broth to prevent lumps, then add milk, sour cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Stir thoroughly and season with salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Cook the Egg Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (about 8-10 minutes) until al dente. Drain the noodles well.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the stroganoff sauce and toss to coat evenly. Heat through for 1-2 minutes until warm. Serve immediately garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- To make this dish lighter, use low-fat sour cream or substitute with Greek yogurt.
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine when making the roux.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds color and freshness but is optional.
- Use fresh mushrooms for best texture and taste; canned mushrooms can be used in a pinch but may alter flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
