Olive Oil: A heart-healthy fat, perfect for sautéing the mushrooms. Mushrooms: Adds an earthy flavor and meaty texture. You can use cremini or white mushrooms. Butter: For richness and flavor. Onion and Garlic: Essential aromatics for any savory dish. Ground Beef: The star protein of the dish. You could substitute with ground turkey or a plant-based alternative. All-Purpose Flour and Paprika: For thickening the sauce and adding a touch of warmth and smokiness. White Wine: Adds acidity and depth. You can substitute with extra broth if you prefer. Beef Broth: The base of the sauce. Opt for low-sodium so you can control the saltiness. Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings. Egg Noodles: Traditional for Beef Stroganoff, but you could use any pasta you like. Sour Cream: Gives the sauce its signature tang and creaminess. You could substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option. Parsley: For freshness and color.
Alright, first things first. Gather all your ingredients together. You’ve got your mushrooms, your onions, that juicy ground beef, and all the other bits and pieces that are going to make this dish sing. It’s always easier when everything’s right there at your fingertips, trust me. Now, let’s start with the mushrooms. Heat up some olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven, toss in the mushrooms, sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper, and let them sizzle. You’re looking for a nice golden brown here. Once they’re done, set them aside on a plate for later. Next up, it’s time for the beef. Melt some butter in the same pot, add the ground beef, and cook until it’s no longer pink. It’s all about building up those flavors, you see. If you’re using regular ground beef, make sure to drain off any excess fat. Throw in the onions and garlic and let them soften up a bit. Let’s sprinkle in the flour and paprika. Stir that around for a minute or so until the flour cooks off a bit. Next, pour in the wine and let it simmer until it’s almost evaporated, all the while scraping up any delicious browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Pour in the broth, give everything a good stir, and let it simmer. Now, add the noodles and the mushrooms and bring to a boil. Time to cook the noodles, so cover the pot, and let everything simmer until the noodles are cooked to your liking. Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the sour cream, and voila! Your One Pot Beef Stroganoff is ready! Don’t forget to sprinkle some parsley on top for that extra bit of color and freshness.
Storage
Storing this One-Pot Beef Stroganoff is a breeze. If you’ve got any leftovers (and that’s a big ‘if’ because it’s so delicious!), just transfer them to an airtight container and pop it in the refrigerator. It should keep well for about 3-4 days. To reheat, you can either use the microwave or gently warm it up on the stove over low heat. You may want to add a splash of beef broth or water to loosen it up as the sauce may thicken in the fridge. And remember, it’s best to stir in the sour cream just before serving!
