Ingredients
For the Stroganoff:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups (about 8 oz) egg noodles (or your preferred pasta)
For Garnish (Optional):
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Red pepper flakes (for extra heat)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Noodles
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened and fragrant.
Step 4: Build the Sauce
Stir in the smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices. Then, sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for another minute.
Step 5: Add Liquids
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6: Combine with Sour Cream
Stir in the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking on low heat for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Step 7: Combine the Beef and Noodles
Return the browned ground beef to the skillet and mix it with the sauce. Stir in the cooked noodles until they are evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Step 8: Garnish and Serve
Serve the stroganoff in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired.
