Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped (or half a large onion)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 16 ounces sliced white button or baby bella mushrooms
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef and aromatics: Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is mostly browned but slightly pink and onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
  2. Sauté the mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the beef and onions. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are softened and browned and the beef is fully cooked through.
  3. Melt the cream cheese: Add the cubed cream cheese to the skillet and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften. Then stir it into the meat and mushrooms until mostly melted and incorporated.
  4. Prepare and add the slurry: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, milk, and all-purpose flour until smooth with no lumps. Pour this slurry into the skillet with the meat mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens and starts bubbling gently.
  5. Finish with sour cream: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the full-fat sour cream. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Spoon the stroganoff over hot buttered egg noodles. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease but retain flavor.
  • Don’t skip draining the excess fat after browning the beef to prevent a greasy sauce.
  • Baby bella mushrooms add a deeper, earthier flavor compared to white button mushrooms.
  • The cream cheese adds creaminess and richness to the sauce; use full-fat for best results.
  • Make sure to whisk the flour into the broth and milk well to avoid lumps in the sauce.
  • Serve immediately over egg noodles for best texture and flavor.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 3-4 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
