Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 lean preferred for flavor and texture
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup sour cream room temperature
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces egg noodles cooked according to package instructions
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a richer flavor, use beef stock instead of broth
• Avoid boiling the sauce after adding sour cream to prevent separation
• Serve with a side salad for a complete meal
Food Safety:
• Ensure ground beef is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C)
• Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and consume within 3-4 days
