How To Make Ground Beef Stroganoff

  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Season the hamburger meat with salt, pepper and dried thyme.
  • Transfer the beef to a bowl. Since I use lean ground beef, I don’t need to drain any excess fat. However, if you do – drain the fat before transferring the meat to a bowl.

  • In the same skillet, melt the butter and saute the onions, garlic and mushrooms.

  • Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute. We want to get rid of any raw flour taste!
  • Stir in half the broth. When incorporated, add the remaining broth, Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Return the beef to the skillet and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and and let the mixture simmer.
  • At this point, you can start cooking your noodles!
  • To add creaminess and the distinctive taste of beef stroganoff, add the sour cream and simmer for a few minutes. Make sure the sauce doesn’t boil after adding the sour cream!

    Iin your instructions you say add flour & cook but your ingredients does not list flour. How much should you use? Oversight?

    What a great idea. I’d have never thought of using ground beef for stroganoff but I can see how it makes it a very quick meal. I have a lot of ground turkey in the freezer so I will try it this week. Looks delicious.
