Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ lb. ground beef
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
Cooking Liquids & Sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth Use good quality broth for deeper flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ⅓ cup sour cream Can be substituted with cream cheese and milk.
Pasta
  • 8 oz. wide egg noodles These will cook in the broth.
Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped Optional, for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mince the garlic finely. In a large pot or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about one minute, or until softened.
  2. Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
  3. While the beef is cooking, slice the mushrooms. Once the beef is browned, add the mushrooms and black pepper. Sauté for about five minutes until the mushrooms are soft.
Cooking
  1. Add the uncooked egg noodles, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard to the pot. Stir gently.
  2. Cover the pot with a lid, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
  3. Stir in the sour cream until the mixture is rich and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Serving
  1. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftover Beef Stroganoff in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage. When reheating, add a splash of broth to restore creaminess.
