A quick and easy creamy beef stroganoff recipe that delivers nostalgic comfort with tender beef, mushrooms, and a silky sour cream sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights and family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 8 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth (preferably low sodium)
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of egg noodles and cook according to package instructions (7-9 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add 1 pound ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink and browned, about 6-8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Push the beef to one side of the pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release moisture and onions soften.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook off raw flour taste and thicken the sauce.
  5. Gradually add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard if using. Bring to a gentle simmer and let thicken for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cooked noodles and sour cream until well coated and creamy. Heat through gently without boiling to prevent curdling.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Add sour cream off the heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or milk to loosen. For extra mushroom flavor, sauté mushrooms separately. Avoid overcrowding the pan when browning beef to ensure proper searing.
