Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients and prepping them for cooking. Chop the onions and mushrooms, mince the garlic, and have the ground beef, sour cream, and other seasonings ready to go.
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onions to the pan. Sauté until the onions are translucent and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the Mushrooms: Toss the sliced mushrooms into the pan and continue cooking until they’re tender and have released their moisture, about 8-10 minutes.
- Create the Stroganoff Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the beef and vegetable mixture, and stir to coat everything evenly. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream until well combined. Season the stroganoff with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings, such as Worcestershire sauce or paprika.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Ground Beef Stroganoff hot over a bed of egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
