Beef and Vegetables
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 8 oz mushrooms, thinly sliced (baby bella or white button)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup sour cream
Pasta
- 10 oz egg noodles, uncooked
- Sauté Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are browned and cooked down. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and keep them warm.
- Cook Ground Beef and Onions: Add the ground beef and finely diced onions to the same pan. Break up the ground beef with a spoon and cook for 4-5 minutes until it is fully cooked and no longer pink. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add Worcestershire Sauce: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce until evenly mixed with the beef and onions.
- Incorporate Flour: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir continuously until the flour is fully absorbed and no white flour remains visible. This will help thicken the sauce.
- Simmer with Broth and Noodles: Pour in the beef broth and add the uncooked egg noodles. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Bring everything to a boil, then cover the skillet and reduce the heat to simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes until the noodles are tender and cooked through.
- Finish the Stroganoff: Remove the skillet from heat. Gently stir in the cooked mushrooms and the sour cream until well combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed before serving.
Notes
- Use baby bella mushrooms for a richer flavor, or white button mushrooms for a milder taste.
- Make sure to break up the ground beef well for even cooking and texture.
- Stir in the sour cream off heat to avoid curdling.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stovetop.
- For a thicker sauce, add a little more flour or reduce the broth slightly.
