Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
- 8 ounces (226 grams) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking and Serving:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Egg noodles or rice for serving
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Sizzle ground beef in a spacious skillet over medium heat (375°F), crumbling meat while cooking until richly browned. Eliminate excess grease through draining.
- Introduce finely chopped onions and minced garlic into the skillet, sautéing until onions become translucent and fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate sliced mushrooms, continuing to cook for 5 minutes until they release moisture and develop a tender texture.
- Dust flour evenly across the beef and mushroom mixture, thoroughly coating ingredients to create a thickening base.
- Gradually pour beef broth, blending in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Stir consistently while allowing the mixture to simmer, developing robust flavors for 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold sour cream into the simmering sauce, creating a luxurious, velvety consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, ensuring balanced flavor profile.
- Transfer stroganoff atop prepared egg noodles or fluffy rice, finishing with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley as an elegant garnish.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef for a healthier version of this classic comfort dish.
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free flour to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream to reduce calories and add extra protein to the meal.
- Enhance the umami flavor by adding a splash of dry white wine during the simmering process for more depth and complexity.
