Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 serving bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • to taste none salt
  • to taste none black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 oz egg noodles or your choice of pasta
  • to taste none fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened.
  • Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Gradually add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, cooking for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream. Cook just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Serve the beef Stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or additional herbs such as thyme or parsley.
Feel free to substitute the beef with turkey or a plant-based ground meat alternative for a lighter version.
This dish pairs well with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple salad.
