Ingredients
Scale
For the Noodles
- 12 ounces dried wide egg noodles
For the Stroganoff
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium sweet onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 3/4 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 6-ounce can tomato paste
- 10-ounce can condensed beef consommé
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup sour cream
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the dried wide egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside for serving.
- Sauté vegetables and beef: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the finely diced sweet onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are softened and fragrant. Add the lean ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain off any excess fat from the skillet.
- Create sauce: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour, coarse salt, and dried Italian herbs over the cooked beef mixture and stir well to combine. Add the tomato paste, condensed beef consommé, white wine vinegar, and sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Stir everything together thoroughly.
- Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes or until the mushrooms become tender and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Finish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and heated through. Serve the creamy beef stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Drain excess fat thoroughly to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
- For a tangier sauce, you can adjust the amount of white wine vinegar to taste.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat and calories.
- Fresh mushrooms can be substituted for cremini if preferred.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
