Ingredients
- •1 lb Ground Beef (lean)
- •1 piece Yellow Onion (chopped)
- •8 oz Cremini Mushrooms (sliced)
- •2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- •2 cups Beef Broth (low sodium)
- •1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce (ensure dairy-free/vegan if strict)
- •1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- •2 tbsp All-purpose Flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
- •1 cup Dairy-Free Sour Cream (at room temperature)
- •12 oz Egg Noodles (cooked according to package directions)
- •2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- •1 tbsp Olive Oil
- •to taste to taste Salt
- •to taste to taste Black Pepper
Instructions
- 1.
Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
Time: 10 min - 2.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat and season with salt and pepper.
Time: 7 min - 3.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the beef and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Time: 7 min - 4.
Stir in the minced garlic and flour (or cornstarch) and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the flour is absorbed.
Time: 1 min - 5.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Time: 7 min - 6.
Reduce the heat to low. Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in the dairy-free sour cream until fully combined. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Time: 3 min - 7.
Serve the stroganoff immediately over the cooked egg noodles, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
Time: 1 min
Tips
- 💡Ensure your dairy-free sour cream is at room temperature before adding it to the hot sauce to prevent it from curdling. If it's cold, it can separate.
- 💡For extra richness, a splash of dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon) can be added with the beef broth in Step 5.
- 💡If you prefer a gluten-free option, use cornstarch instead of all-purpose flour for thickening. Mix it with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry before adding to the sauce.
