Here’s a classic Ground Beef Stroganoff recipe—creamy, comforting, and perfect over noodles or rice:
🥩 Ground Beef Stroganoff
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz (225 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tsp paprika (optional)
- 8 oz (225 g) egg noodles or rice, cooked
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the beef
- In a large skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat
- Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned
- Remove beef and set aside
2. Sauté vegetables
- In the same skillet, add onion and mushrooms
- Cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes
- Add garlic and cook 1 minute more
3. Make the sauce
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables, stir to coat
- Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly
- Bring to a simmer until sauce thickens
4. Combine and season
- Return cooked ground beef to the skillet
- Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard
- Add paprika if using, adjust salt and pepper
- Heat gently, do not boil (prevents curdling)
5. Serve
- Serve over cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley or a sprinkle of paprika
💡 Tips
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of beef broth and a splash of Worcestershire sauce
- For lighter stroganoff, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream
- Can be made ahead and reheated gently; add a splash of broth if sauce thickens
