Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb ground beef

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Dairy

  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp butter

Dry Ingredients and Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp paprika (plus extra for garnish)

Pasta

  • 8 oz egg noodles

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more butter if needed, then add chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened and golden. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Build the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for about one minute to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens.
  4. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat and gently fold in the sour cream until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika to taste.
  5. Cook the Noodles: While preparing the sauce, cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with the stroganoff sauce just before serving for perfect flavor and texture harmony.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms and onions for better flavor and texture.
  • Add sour cream off the heat to prevent curdling and maintain a silky sauce.
  • Season gradually and taste as you go to balance salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Egg noodles are traditional, but wide pasta or spiralized vegetables can be used.
  • When adding beef broth, deglaze the pan well by scraping browned bits for richer flavor.
