Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 oz wide egg noodles
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then cook it while breaking it apart until almost fully browned.
- Cook Vegetables: Add chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, and dried thyme to the skillet. Cook together until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the mixture to a plate and set aside.
- Prepare Roux: To the same skillet, add butter and let it melt completely. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.
- Add Broth and Noodles: Slowly add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the roux, stirring continuously. Add the wide egg noodles and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until noodles are al dente, stirring occasionally, about 8-10 minutes.
- Combine and Finish: Return the cooked beef and vegetable mixture to the skillet. Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and evenly combined. Taste and season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and keep the dish lighter.
- Wide egg noodles work best, but you can substitute with pappardelle or fettuccine if needed.
- Make sure to stir constantly when making the roux to prevent burning.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook the noodles slightly less and let the stroganoff sit off heat to thicken.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream with a vegan sour cream alternative.
