A quick and easy one-pot beef stroganoff recipe that delivers creamy, comforting flavors with minimal cleanup. Perfect for cozy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) lean or medium ground beef (85% lean preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces (225g) white or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups (480ml) beef broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¾ cup (180ml) full-fat sour cream (or Greek yogurt as substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for GF option)
  • 8 ounces (225g) egg noodles or pasta of choice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium-high heat in a large deep skillet. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned with no pink bits, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and set beef aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add remaining oil or butter. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent and soft, about 4 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking until mushrooms release moisture and start browning, about 3 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour evenly over the vegetables and stir constantly for about 2 minutes to cook out raw flour taste and thicken the base.
  4. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Add Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Scrape the bottom of the pan to lift browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer and let thicken slightly for about 5 minutes.
  5. Return browned beef to the pan and stir to combine. Add uncooked egg noodles, pressing them into the liquid. Cover and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed. Add more broth if needed to prevent sticking.
  6. Turn off heat and gently stir in sour cream until sauce is creamy and smooth. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Add sour cream off heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick, loosen with a splash of broth or milk. Fresh garlic and firm mushrooms improve flavor. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and noodles. Variations include adding white wine during deglazing or swapping beef for ground turkey or lentils for vegetarian option.
