Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound ground beef, preferably 80/20
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
8 ounces egg noodles or pasta of your choice
Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth, then stir this mixture into the simmering broth to thicken the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until combined.
Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions in salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.
Once the stroganoff sauce is ready, combine it with the cooked noodles in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
