Description

A comforting and quick Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe perfect for weeknight dinners. Simple ingredients, rich flavor, and ready in under an hour. Minimal fuss, maximum flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. 2. While the noodles are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. 3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. 4. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown, about 5-8 minutes.
  5. 5. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and mushroom mixture. Stir well and cook for 1 minute, until the flour is lightly toasted.
  6. 6. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. 7. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  8. 8. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and Dijon mustard.
  9. 9. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir the sour cream mixture into the stroganoff until smooth and well combined. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
  10. 10. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  11. 11. Serve the stroganoff immediately over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Allow the stroganoff and noodles to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the sauce if needed. You can also reheat it in the microwave at 50% power, stirring occasionally. Reheat the noodles separately or combine with the sauce during reheating.
