How to Make Homemade Beef Stroganoff

• Saute Mushrooms in butter.
• Add in lean ground beef and seasonings.
• Cook until the mushrooms and beef until beef is browned.
• Drain off all but 1/2 tablespoon of the rendered fat fat from the pan.
• Add in flour and cook for 1 minute to remove any raw flour taste.
• Deglaze the pan with red wine.
• Slowly whisk in beef stock and milk.
• Bring this mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
• Allow to simmer covered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.
• While your Beef Stroganoff is simmering, boil egg noodles to accompany the sauce.
• Serve Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles.

Tips on 30 Minute Beef Stroganoff

• I add a dry red wine to the cooking liquids for additional depth of flavor, but feel free to use additional beef stock in place of the wine.
• If you don’t like beef, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken in this Stroganoff recipe.
• I prefer a mixture of baby creminis and baby portabello mushrooms for the best meaty flavor, but any mushroom works.
• If you would like a really thick Stroganoff sauce, stir in 1/2 cup to 1 cup sour cream after your sauce has simmered.
• To finish off the meal, my choice is dish the sauce generously over whole wheat egg noodles that have been cooked and tossed with a bit of butter and salt, but mashed potatoes are a great base as well.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup diced baby portabello and cremini mushrooms
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 2 teaspoons salt divided
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 cup dry red wine or 1/2 cup additional stock
• 1 cup milk divided
• 1 1/2 cups mushroom or beef stock
• 1 package whole wheat egg noodles cooked

Instructions

• Melt butter in heavy bottomed stock pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, and saute for 2-3 minutes. 
• Add in ground beef, thyme, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, onion powder and saute until beef is browned. 
• Drain off all but 1/2 tablespoon pan drippings. I find that when using lean ground beef, I do not need to drain meat at all. 
• Add flour to pan and stir to coat. Allow to cook for 1 additional minute.
• Deglaze pan with wine and bring to a boil, whisking to incorporate flour into liquid. Add 1/2 cup milk and whisk well until mixture is quite thick.
• Add remaining stock and milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer.  Allow to simmer for 20 minutes until flavors are well married. Taste and season with additional 1 teaspoon of salt if needed.
• Serve over egg noodles.

Notes
