Equipment

Ingredients
Stroganoff Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef 90% lean recommended
- 0.5 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb mushrooms sliced, cremini or button
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth low sodium preferred
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 0.33 cup sour cream room temperature
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and garlic. Cook until translucent and golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms. Cook until softened and most liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Pour in beef broth while scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Add heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Slowly stir in sour cream until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
For extra depth, try adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or a splash of white wine with the broth. Store sauce and noodles separately to keep textures just right when reheating.
