Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or 1:1 GF blend)
- 2 cups beef broth (low sodium)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional, but recommended)
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Brown the Beef & Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no pink remains. Drain excess fat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened (5-7 mins). Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Build the Mushroom Base: Push beef and onion to one side. Add sliced mushrooms to the empty side and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until browned. Stir into beef mixture and cook until tender (5-7 more mins).
- Create the Roux: Sprinkle flour over the beef and mushroom mixture. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Deglaze & Simmer Sauce: Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add paprika, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Incorporate Sour Cream: Remove pan from heat. In a small bowl, whisk a few spoonfuls of the hot sauce into the sour cream to temper it. Stir tempered sour cream into the beef mixture until smooth. Do not boil after adding sour cream.
- Combine with Noodles & Final Touches: Cook egg noodles according to package directions until al dente; drain well. Add cooked noodles to the stroganoff sauce and toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasonings. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives.
