Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and toss with 1 tbsp butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 2: Brown the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and transfer the beef to a plate.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, pepper, and paprika. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 5: Add the Beef and Sour Cream

Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and mix in the sour cream. Stir gently until the sauce is creamy and well incorporated. Do not let it boil to prevent curdling.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish

Serve the stroganoff over buttered egg noodles and sprinkle with fresh parsley for extra flavor. Enjoy!

Notes

Use Fresh Mushrooms: They add the best flavor and texture.
Don’t Overheat the Sour Cream: Stir it in at the end to keep the sauce smooth.
For a Thicker Sauce: Let it simmer a little longer before adding the sour cream.
Make it Lighter: Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt.
