Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
  • 2 tbsps (30 ml) butter
  • 2 tbsps (16 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
  • 1 cup (240 g) sour cream
  • 8 oz (226 g) mushrooms, sliced
  • 8 oz (226 g) egg noodles
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare egg noodles according to package guidelines, then drain and reserve.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium temperature and melt butter until shimmering.
  3. Sauté onions, garlic, and mushrooms until they become translucent and tender, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  4. Introduce ground beef to the skillet, crumbling and browning the meat thoroughly while eliminating excess fat.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the meat mixture, stirring continuously for 60 seconds to create a roux and prevent clumping.
  6. Gradually pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, whisking to create a smooth, integrated sauce.
  7. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, watching the sauce thicken and develop rich flavors.
  8. Remove skillet from heat and gently fold in sour cream until completely incorporated.
  9. Season the stroganoff with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall taste profile.
  10. Combine the prepared noodles with the creamy beef sauce, ensuring even distribution.
  11. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finish and serve immediately while warm.
