Ground Beef Stroganoff
Description
This recipe for Ground Beef Stroganoff starts by browning lean ground beef seasoned with salt, pepper, and dried thyme, providing a savory meat base. The ground beef is removed while onions, garlic, and mushrooms are sautéed in butter, developing caramelized flavors. Adding flour creates a roux to thicken the sauce once beef broth is gradually incorporated, along with Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce for tang and depth.
The beef returns to the skillet to simmer in the sauce, which is enriched with sour cream toward the end, giving the dish its characteristic creamy texture and slightly tangy profile. Cooking egg noodles separately allows for a tender, toothsome accompaniment that absorbs the sauce well. Fresh parsley garnish adds a bright note.
This dish suits a comforting dinner with minimal fuss, balancing hearty beef and mushrooms with creamy and slightly sharp flavors. Sour cream should be added off heat or at low heat to prevent curdling. Serving immediately ensures best texture of noodles and sauce.
