Ingredients
  

For the Stroganoff
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef 90/10 or 93/7 recommended
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms sliced
  • ½ medium onion diced (about ¾ cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour gluten-free flour can be used
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce coconut aminos can be substituted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream dairy-free sour cream or plant-based Greek yogurt can be substituted
For Serving
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked egg noodles cooked according to package directions and drained; cooked rice or gluten-free noodles can be substituted
Optional Garnish
  • fresh parsley minced

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef.
  2. Brown the beef for about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until it’s about 80% browned. Some pink is okay.
  3. Add the mushrooms, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper to the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are cooked down.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the ground beef and mushrooms. Stir to combine.
  5. Add the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Stir until well combined.
  6. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes in the skillet before serving. This allows the sauce to thicken further.
  8. Gently toss the beef and sauce with the cooked egg noodles, or serve the stroganoff over the noodles.
  9. Garnish with minced parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
