Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon flour (optional, for thickening)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 oz egg noodles (or pasta of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for pasta)
Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the Egg Noodles:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. Toss with 1 tablespoon of butter to prevent sticking.
2️⃣ Cook the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables:
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
4️⃣ Make the Stroganoff Sauce:
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. If you’d like a thicker sauce, sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
5️⃣ Add the Sour Cream:
Lower the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6️⃣ Combine with Pasta:
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss them in the creamy beef mixture until well-coated. Let everything heat through for another 2 minutes.
7️⃣ Serve:
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your comforting, creamy Ground Beef Stroganoff!
Notes
- You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version of this dish.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the amount of flour, or let the sauce simmer longer to reduce.
- This recipe also works well with mushrooms, which you can sauté with the onions for added texture and flavor.
- For a little extra flavor, try adding a splash of white wine or a pinch of paprika to the sauce.
