Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, adjust to taste

Equipment

  • Heavy, deep pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat a heavy, deep pan over medium-high heat with olive oil. Add ground beef and stir to break down beef into tiny pieces. Add onions and minced garlic. Saute until the onion is translucent and golden brown.
  2. Add sliced mushrooms and saute for another 5 minutes or until the mushrooms soften. If they release a lot of juice, let it evaporate.
  3. Add flour and stir until fully incorporated. Be sure to mix in any lumps that form.
  4. Add 1 cup beef broth, 1 cup whipping cream, 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper and bring it to a simmer. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from the heat and add in sour cream. Stir to combine everything together and season to taste if needed. Serve over noodles, rice or potatoes.

Notes

You can substitute the ground beef with sliced sirloin steak if you prefer a traditional Beef Stroganoff texture. For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of water when cooking the mushrooms if they release too much liquid.
