Ingredients
Meat & Dairy
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
Vegetables
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Pantry & Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or more, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or more, to taste)
- 1 cup beef broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Mushrooms and Onions: Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onions. Sauté them, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates, and they develop a nice sear. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook Ground Beef and Garlic: Add the ground beef to the same skillet and cook, breaking it up, for about 8 minutes until browned. When the beef begins cooking, stir in the minced garlic. Drain excess fat from the pan if there is too much once the beef is browned.
- Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the browned beef and stir well, cooking for about one minute to incorporate the flour and remove its raw taste.
- Deglaze and Simmer: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently to dissolve the flour and mustard, and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This will thicken the sauce and build flavor.
- Combine Mushrooms and Onions: Return the sautéed mushrooms and onions to the skillet and stir them evenly into the beef mixture.
- Finish with Sour Cream: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately for a creamy, flavorful stroganoff.
Notes
- Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Adjust Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard amounts based on your taste preference for tanginess and depth.
- To lighten the dish, use reduced-fat sour cream, though it may affect creaminess.
- Serve stroganoff over wide egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
