What is beef stroganoff?

Traditional beef stroganoff originates from Russian cuisine and consists of sauteed beef strips in a bouillon, mustard, and sour cream sauce. Its Russian name is beef stroganov!

Classic Russian beef stroganoff is mostly served with potatoes. Pasta is actually a more modern addition!

How to Make Beef Stroganoff with Ground Chuck

1. Season 1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. If using a cast-iron skillet, you can skip this step.
3. Add beef to the skillet and sear one side until it browns nicely, about 3-5 minutes.
   
   Turn beef over and break it up slightly. I like to leave big chunks for my stroganoff.
   
4. Add 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or garlic paste), 1/2 cup sliced onions, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/3 teaspoon dried thyme).
   
   Saute until the beef cooks through and the onions soften, about 3-5 minutes.
   
   Remove the beef mixture from the skillet and set aside.
5. Add 3 tablespoons unsalted butter to the skillet. Let it melt, then add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
   
   Saute the mushrooms until they soften and release their juices.
6. Add 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour to the mushroom mixture in the skillet. Cook, stirring, for a minute or 2 to cook the flour.
   
7. Add 1/2 cup white wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan – that’s flavor! Then, add 1 1/2 cups beef stock.
   
8. Bring to a boil and boil for about a minute. Once a minute is up, reduce the heat to low and add the beef back to the skillet. Cover and simmer on low heat while you prepare the noodles.
   
9. Cook one 12 ounce package egg noodles according to package directions. When they are nearly done cooking (about 2-3 minutes from being done), mix 1/3 cup sour cream into the beef mixture. Stir to combine.
   
10. Give the beef mixture a taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Add the noodles to the skillet and stir to combine.
    Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley, and enjoy!

Sauteeing mushrooms and onions in butter bring out their beautiful flavor and add a rich and savory note to the beef stroganoff sauce. It’s much better than using canned cream of mushroom soup.

You will love the flavors of this easy beef stroganoff! I promise you, your family will be asking you to make this recipe again. It is truly so special and easily one of my favorite beef dinner ideas.

Ground Beef Skillet

Aside from the egg noodles, I make my recipe for minced beef stroganoff all in one skillet! Easy skillet meals are my favorite, but you will want to prepare the egg noodles in their own pot.

All in all, this hamburger beef stroganoff takes about 30 minutes to prepare, and is one of the best recipes with egg noodles and ground beef you can make. It is so delicious!

Family Foodie Tips

• Use the best beef: Use Certified Angus Beef® brand ground chuck for the best results.
• Make it in a cast-iron skillet: We recommend a 10″ cast iron skillet. A stainless steel skillet will work as well. Avoid using a non-stick skillet as you won’t get a good sear on the beef.
• Sear the beef: Searing the beef adds a nice crust for more flavor. Don’t skip this step!
• Use fresh mushrooms: Use fresh mushrooms for maximum flavor.
• Use beef stock, not broth: Beef stock will produce a deeper flavor, so use stock over broth.
