Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (93% lean or higher)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth, low sodium
- 8 ounces whole-grain egg noodles
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, followed by the chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Sprinkle the paprika over the mushrooms and stir well, then return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
While the broth is simmering, cook the whole-grain egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low under the skillet. Stir in the Dijon mustard and Greek yogurt, making sure it is well combined. Allow the mixture to gently heat through without boiling, to prevent the yogurt from curdling.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your healthy ground beef stroganoff!
