Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 pot for boiling noodles
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 4 serving bowls
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 8 ounces egg noodles or pasta of your choice
- chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until heated through but do not boil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve the beef stroganoff over the cooked noodles and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
