Weeknight Beef Stroganoff

Weeknight Beef Stroganoff delivers tender egg noodles coated in a rich, creamy sauce balanced by the tang of sour cream and the earthiness of sautéed mushrooms and onions. Lean ground beef builds hearty depth while a quick pan sauce captures the browned bits for extra flavor. Serve it for a cozy family dinner when you want comfort with minimal fuss.

  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

    Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and the onion; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; do not wash the skillet.

  3. 3

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rapid boil. Cook the egg noodles at a boil until tender yet slightly firm, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain.

  4. 4

    While the noodles cook, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring, until browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute.

  6. 6

    Add the broth and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 4 minutes.

  7. 7

    Add the mushroom mixture, then stir in the sour cream, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is hot, 2 to 3 minutes; do not let it boil.
