Ground Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 1 pound ground beef (93%)
• 1/2 medium onion (roughly chopped (about 1 cup))
• 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms (cleaned and thinly sliced (aka cremini mushrooms))
• 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or your favorite gluten free flour)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup sour cream (full-fat)
• 3 cups egg noodles (uncooked (5 ounces))
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (minced)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet* or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

2. 2

   Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as you cook to avoid large chunks, about 5 minutes. Transfer the now-cooked meat onto a platter using a slotted spoon and set it aside.

3. 3

   Continue with the pan on medium-high heat, adding the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ½ cup chopped onions and 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms and saute until the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 6-8 minutes. Reduce the heat if needed to avoid burning. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds.

4. 4

   Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the cooked vegetables and stir continuously for 30-45 seconds, until the flour turns golden brown.

5. 5

   Gradually pour in 2 cups of beef broth, stirring frequently to deglaze the pan (scraping the browned bits at the bottom) and incorporate the fond. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the sauce is thickened about 3-4 minutes.

6. 6

   Add the now-browned ground beef, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper to the skillet. Give it a good stir.

7. 7

   Stir in 3 cups of egg noodles and simmer, covered, on low heat for 10 - 12 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.

8. 8

   Off the heat, stir in ½ cup sour cream and a tablespoon (or more to taste) lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), if using. Adjust the seasoning to your desired taste.

9. 9

   When ready to serve, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
