This 30-minute version of beef stroganoff is creamy and delicious, but so much faster and easier to make than classic versions. Using ground beef, some fresh veggies, and everyday seasonings, this delicious comfort food dinner is so nourishing.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (we use 90/10 or 93/7)
  • 8 ounces of cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ medium onion, diced (about ¾ cup)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt, more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour if needed)
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (may substitute 2 tablespoons coconut aminos)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked egg noodles, cooked according to package directions and drained (may substitute cooked rice or gluten-free noodles of choice)
  • Optional for garnish: fresh parsley, minced

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef. Brown the beef for about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it’s about 80% browned. It’s OK for some of the beef to still be pink. 

  2. 2

    Add the mushrooms, onions, garlic, salt and pepper to the beef. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally for another 5-7 or until onions are translucent and mushrooms are cooked down. 

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the flour over the ground beef and mushrooms; use a stirring spoon to mix it together.

  4. 4

    Add the Worcestershire sauce or coconut aminos, Dijon mustard, and beef broth; stir until well combined. 

  5. 5

    Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture a simmer for about 3-4 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. 

  6. 6

    Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Let everything sit for 5-10 minutes in the skillet before serving. This time allows the sauce to thicken further.

  7. 7

    Gently toss the beef and sauce with the egg noodles or serve the stroganoff over the noodles. 

  8. 8

    Garnish with minced parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
