Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 pot for boiling noodles
- 1 colander
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sour cream Can substitute Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Brown the meat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they are softened.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the beef broth while stirring, followed by the Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for about 3-4 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cooking just until heated through (do not boil).
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions in a separate pot. Drain and set aside.
- Serve the ground beef stroganoff over the egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a healthier option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
