Then, sprinkle flour, stir, and gradually add beef broth until thickened. Reduce the heat, mix in sour cream, and season to taste. Cook egg noodles separately, combine with the stroganoff, and garnish with parsley. It’s a comforting dish that’s sure to please—stick around to discover more tips!
Ground Beef Stroganoff Instructions
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they’re tender.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for another minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the beef broth while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- To serve, combine the beef stroganoff with the noodles or plate them separately, garnishing with fresh parsley.
When cooking this dish, I’ve found that using high-quality ground beef can really make a difference in flavor.
I also like to let the stroganoff simmer a bit longer after adding the sour cream to really meld the flavors together.
If you want to add a little zing, a splash of white wine can elevate the dish even further.
Lastly, always taste and adjust seasoning, as the amount of salt and pepper can vary based on personal preference.
Enjoy your meal!
