Ground Beef Stroganoff Ingredients
Despite how luxurious the beef stroganoff sauce tastes, it’s actually made with everyday ingredients you have in your pantry! Here’s what you’ll need to make this ground beef dinner recipe:
- Egg Noodles: We like the texture and flavor of the egg noodles with the sauce but any pasta will work fine.
- Ground Beef: We prefer 80/20 or 85/15 for maximum flavor.
- Onions: a yellow onion works great and dice it small
- Seasonings: Garlic Powder, Paprika, Salt, Black Pepper, Dried Parsley Flakes, Onion Powder
- Thyme: We prefer fresh thyme but if you need to use dried, use 1/2 teaspoon.
- Butter: helps sauté the mushrooms and then mixes with the flour to create a roux for the sauce
- Cremini Mushrooms: sliced thin
- Flour: just regular all purpose flour is all you need
- Beef Broth: creates the base for the sauce, use low sodium beef broth if you want to reduce the salt
- Worcestershire Sauce: adds rich umami flavor
- Sour Cream: adds creaminess
- Fresh Parsley: used for garnish
The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.
How to Make Ground Beef Stroganoff From Scratch
You are going to love me when you see how easy this beef stroganoff recipe is! It’s ready in as much time as it takes to boil noodles!
- Start your egg noodles cooking in salted water.
- Sauté the onions in a large skillet or shallow dutch oven over medium high heat on the stove top and then add the seasonings. Cook until browned and then drain the grease and remove everything to a bowl.
- Add the butter to the pan and then add mushrooms to caramelize. Then add the flour and stir for a minute or so to cook the flour taste out.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire and whisk everything together. Simmer a few minutes to thicken. Add in the sour cream and stir everything together.
- PRO TIP: You’ve just made homemade cream of mushroom soup and it’s so much better made from scratch!
- Serve over egg noodles in a large pan and top with fresh parsley.
