Description
This Ground Beef Stroganoff is a quick and comforting skillet dinner with savory beef, mushrooms, and egg noodles in a creamy gravy made with sour cream and pantry staples. Perfect for a cozy weeknight meal in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
12 ounces wide egg noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for lean beef)
1 pound ground beef (80/20)
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup sour cream (room temperature)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
- While noodles cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil if needed, then brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the onion and mushrooms. Cook until onions soften and mushrooms brown, about 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for 30–60 seconds to coat.
- Whisk in the beef broth gradually, scraping up browned bits. Add Worcestershire, Dijon, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream until the sauce is smooth and silky. Do not boil.
- Add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss to coat. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
For one-pot cooking, stir uncooked noodles into the gravy with extra broth and simmer until tender.
Omit mushrooms and add peas or extra onion for a mushroom-free version.
Add heavy cream with the sour cream for a richer texture.
Use gluten-free noodles and cornstarch slurry for a gluten-free version.
