Description
A quick and creamy ground beef stroganoff that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner, cooked in just one pan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450 g) lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 8 ounces (225 g) mushrooms, sliced (white or cremini)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium if preferred)
- 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 ounces egg noodles or pasta of choice
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil or butter. Add chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and lightly golden.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until they release their liquid and start to brown. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Push the vegetables to the side, add the ground beef, and break it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Sprinkle the flour over the meat and veggies and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to make a smooth sauce. Add Worcestershire and Dijon. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sour cream until blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or pasta water.
- Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet or plate noodles and spoon the sauce over them. Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Use room-temperature sour cream to prevent curdling when mixed into hot sauce. Brown mushrooms and beef well for extra flavor.
