A creamy, comforting Ground Beef Stroganoff that combines sautéed mushrooms, onions, and lean ground beef in a rich sour cream and beef broth sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Combine Mushrooms and Onions: Return the sautéed mushrooms and onions to the skillet and stir them evenly into the beef mixture.
  6. 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.
