Ingredients

Scale

Protein & Dairy

  • 1 lb lean to medium-fat ground beef
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for sautéing)

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced

Liquids & Flavorings

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Starch

  • 12 oz wide egg noodles or preferred pasta

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef in batches, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove beef and set aside, leaving some juices in the pan.
  2. Sauté Onions, Garlic, and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, cook chopped onions until translucent and fragrant. Add minced garlic and stir briefly. Then add sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender and most moisture has evaporated.
  3. Combine with Broth and Mustard: Return the browned beef to the skillet. Pour in beef broth and stir in Dijon mustard. Allow to simmer gently until the broth reduces slightly and flavors concentrate.
  4. Stir in Sour Cream: Lower the heat. Gradually add sour cream, stirring continuously to prevent curdling and create a smooth, creamy sauce that coats the beef and mushrooms evenly.
  5. Serve over Egg Noodles: Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Serve the creamy stroganoff over the noodles, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or a sprinkle of paprika.

Notes

  • Use low to medium heat when adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
  • Brown ground beef in batches to ensure proper caramelization.
  • Choose fresh, firm mushrooms for the best texture.
  • Drain excess grease after browning beef to avoid an oily dish.
  • Let the stroganoff rest briefly before serving to thicken the sauce and meld flavors.
