Ground Beef Stroganoff
A delightful variation of the classic Stroganoff, this rendition delivers a luscious, creamy mushroom sauce infused with the rich flavor of ground beef. Ready in just over half an hour, it pairs exceptionally well with egg noodles, rice, or grains of your choice.
Ingredients
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 medium onion diced
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 lb mushrooms sliced
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper adjust to taste
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Warm a deep, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Introduce the ground beef, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Incorporate diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent and acquire a golden hue.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until they are tender and their moisture has mostly evaporated.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir thoroughly to eliminate any lumps, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to reach a gentle simmer, then lower the heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes to thicken.
- Take the pan off the heat and blend in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and fully integrated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
