Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 3 TBSP butter, divided
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 3 TBSP flour
  • 3 1/2 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1 TBSP Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 TBSP soy sauce
  • 8 oz dried egg noodles
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped pickles
  • 1 TBSP Italian parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Over medium-high heat, melt 1 tbsp (15ml) butter and cook the mushrooms with salt and pepper until well-browned, 5–7 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt the remaining 2 tbsp (30ml) butter and cook the onion and ground beef for 5–7 minutes until browned. Keep breaking the meat into small pieces as you cook it. Season with salt and pepper. Add the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to cook off the raw taste. Add the broth and stir well. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the Dijon, Worcestershire, soy sauce, and noodles. Cook uncovered for about 6–8 minutes until the noodles are cooked, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Stir in the pickles and sour cream, garnish with parsley, and serve.

FAQ

Can I make ground beef stroganoff ahead of time?+
Yes! You can prepare the entire stroganoff up to 2 days ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge—just reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if it's too thick. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months, though the sour cream may separate slightly when thawed.
What can I substitute for sour cream in stroganoff?+
Greek yogurt works great as a 1:1 replacement and adds extra protein, or try a mix of cream cheese and milk for a richer texture. Just stir either option in at the very end off the heat to prevent curdling.
Why is my stroganoff sauce too thin or too thick?+
If it's too thin, mix 1 tablespoon flour with 2 tablespoons cold water, stir it in, and simmer for a minute; if it's too thick, add broth a little at a time until you reach the consistency you want. The flour coating the beef should create a creamy sauce, so make sure you're letting it cook for a full minute after adding the flour.
What should I serve ground beef stroganoff with?+
Egg noodles are the classic pairing, but you can also serve it over rice, mashed potatoes, or buttered egg pasta—the stroganoff sauce clings beautifully to anything starchy. A simple green salad or steamed green beans on the side balance out the richness perfectly.
