Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Egg noodles or cooked rice, for serving
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until mushrooms release their moisture and soften, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cook until the sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in sour cream until incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve the stroganoff over warm egg noodles or cooked rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of white wine along with the beef broth or top with shredded cheddar cheese when serving.
