Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 8 ounces, sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 12 ounces (cooked according to package instructions) egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Season the beef with salt, pepper, and paprika, stirring to combine.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Do not let the sauce boil once the sour cream is added, as this can cause it to curdle.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
