Gather Your Ingredients

Having everything ready before you start cooking can make the process smoother. Here’s what you will need:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Beef

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the ground beef, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spoon.

Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove excess grease, if necessary, by tilting the pot and using a spoon to remove the liquid.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Stir in garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for an additional 3 minutes, or until mushrooms start to soften.

Sprinkle paprika over the vegetables and mix well.

Step 3: Create the Sauce

Stir in the all-purpose flour, ensuring it’s evenly distributed over the beef and veggies.

Gradually add beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Step 4: Cook the Noodles

Add egg noodles directly into the pot.

Cover and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5: Finish with Creaminess

Once the noodles are cooked, remove the pot from heat.

Garnish and Serve

Ladle your creamy Beef Stroganoff into bowls.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor, if desired.

Enjoy this dish with a simple side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal experience.
