Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean recommended)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 3/4 cup sour cream (full-fat preferred)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz wide egg noodles
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions (about 6-8 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside, tossing with a little butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and swirl to coat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until softened and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and sliced mushrooms (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes until mushrooms release their moisture and onions are fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring and scraping up any browned bits. Add Dijon mustard, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved noodle water or extra broth. Warm gently—do not boil after adding sour cream.
  7. Divide egg noodles among plates or bowls. Spoon stroganoff sauce generously over the noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of paprika or cracked pepper.

Notes

For gluten-free, use cornstarch and gluten-free noodles. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free butter. Brown the beef well for extra flavor, and keep heat low when adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Leftovers taste even better the next day and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
