Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef for a hearty base
  • 1 medium onion, chopped adds sweetness
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced for flavor
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced fresh or canned
  • 1 cup beef broth liquid base
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce adds depth
  • 1 cup sour cream for creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for thickening
  • Salt and pepper to taste for seasoning
  • 8 ounces egg noodles pasta base
  • Fresh parsley for garnish adds color and flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Once done, drain them and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. After it's cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
  4. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they soften, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the beef mixture, stirring to ensure it combines well.
  6. Gradually pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce the heat and mix in the sour cream, cooking until everything is heated through. Avoid boiling to maintain creaminess.
  8. Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
  9. Plate the stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Warm it gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth if the sauce thickens too much. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. Canned mushrooms can be used if fresh ones are not available. Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for a healthier option.
