A classic and creamy Beef Stroganoff recipe featuring ground beef, mushrooms, and sour cream sauce served over egg noodles or rice for a comforting and hearty meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Egg noodles or rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, then sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
  2. Cook the beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat from the pan to keep the dish from being greasy.
  3. Add mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they soften and release their moisture, about 5 minutes.
  4. Thicken the mixture: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the beef and mushroom mixture, stirring constantly to combine. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  5. Create the sauce: Gradually pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring continuously. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens and coats the beef mixture evenly.
  6. Finish the sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream gently. Heat through without boiling to prevent curdling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve: Spoon the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice and serve warm for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, add an extra tablespoon of flour or simmer a little longer.
  • If sour cream is unavailable, Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute but add it off the heat to prevent curdling.
  • Use egg noodles for a traditional experience, or substitute with rice or mashed potatoes if preferred.
  • Adding fresh parsley or dill as garnish can brighten the flavor and presentation.
  • Brown the beef thoroughly to develop deeper flavor in the dish.
