Ground Beef Stroganoff
Description
The Ground Beef Stroganoff uses ground beef browned with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to build a flavorful base. Sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic contribute earthiness and aroma, while flour helps thicken the sauce after the addition of beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. A gentle simmer blends these flavors before sour cream enriches the sauce, adding creaminess and tang. Incorporating egg noodles or cooked short pasta in the sauce creates a filling, unified dish. The recipe allows customization such as swapping ground beef for other meats, adding spinach for freshness, or adjusting thickness with cornstarch slurry if desired. This stovetop recipe produces a savory, creamy meal that pairs well with simple side dishes or a salad for a balanced dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or Herbs de Provence
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces mushroom sliced
- ½ white onion diced, or yellow onion
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 ½ cups beef broth
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅔-1 cup sour cream
- 8 ounces egg noodles (uncooked) or short pasta noodles like elbows or shells (cooked)
Instructions
- Divide ground beef into large chunks and drop into a large skillet over medium heat (if not using a nonstick pan, drizzle it with a bit of oil first). Season beef generously with salt and pepper, and add the herbs de provence. Brown for 2-3 minutes, then break up with a spoon or spatula and continue to brown until there is no more pink. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Add butter to the pan. Once melted, stir in onions, mushrooms, and garlic for 2 minutes til garlic is fragrant and onions are translucent. Sprinkle with flour and stir for 1 minute until foamy.
- Gradually whisk in beef broth, stirring constantly. Stir in worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Reduce heat to a low simmer. Once no longer bubbling, stir in sour cream.
- Stir in ground beef and noodles. (If using egg noodles, cover and simmer 3-5 minutes until softened). Taste, add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
- Ground beef can be substituted with ground chicken, turkey, or Italian sausage for different flavor profiles.
- If the sauce is thinner than desired, gradually stir in a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and cold water) while boiling to thicken.
- Fresh baby spinach can be added at the end and cooked until just wilted for extra greens.
- For a bit of heat, add ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
- Use small shells or spiral noodles as alternatives to egg noodles if preferred.
