Ingredients for Ground Beef Stroganoff
Here’s what you’ll need for this quick and satisfying dish:
For the Stroganoff:
- 1 lb ground beef (80-85% lean)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (white button or cremini)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ cup sour cream
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For Serving:
- 8 oz egg noodles, cooked according to package directions
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Tools You’ll Need
- Large skillet or sauté pan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Medium pot for cooking noodles
- Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Ground Beef Stroganoff
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving any drippings in the pan.
- Sauté the Veggies: Add the butter to the skillet, followed by the diced onion, minced garlic, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and the onions are translucent.
- Make the Sauce Base: Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Season and Simmer: Add the Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Bring it to a simmer and let it thicken for 3-5 minutes.
- Combine with Ground Beef: Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Spoon the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy while it’s warm and comforting!
What to Serve with Ground Beef Stroganoff
- A Fresh Salad: A simple green salad with vinaigrette is a great way to balance the richness of the stroganoff.
- Steamed Vegetables: Try steamed green beans, broccoli, or asparagus for added nutrition and color.
- Crusty Bread: Perfect for mopping up that delicious sauce!
- Mashed Potatoes: Swap the noodles for creamy mashed potatoes for a twist.
Tips for the Perfect Stroganoff
- Use Full-Fat Sour Cream: This adds extra richness and prevents curdling in the sauce.
- Don’t Skip the Paprika: It adds a smoky, sweet flavor that makes this dish extra special.
- Add the Sour Cream Last: Stir it in after you’ve reduced the heat to avoid it splitting or curdling.
- Make It Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free flour and noodles for a gluten-free version.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of beef broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
- Freeze: This stroganoff freezes well! Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?
Yes! Ground turkey or chicken makes a leaner option, and the flavors still work beautifully.
Q: Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Absolutely! Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream if you want to lighten up the dish.
Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the stroganoff up to 2 days in advance. Store it in the fridge, and reheat gently before serving.
