Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef Stroganoff:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 oz fresh cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups beef stock (or beef broth)
- 10.75 oz can cream of mushroom soup
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
- Sauté the mushrooms: Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Brown the ground beef: Push the vegetables to the side and add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Add flavorings and liquids: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, then pour in the beef stock followed by the cream of mushroom soup. Mix everything thoroughly to combine well.
- Simmer the stroganoff: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and make the dish healthier.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the beef stock with red wine.
- You can add a dollop of sour cream at the end for extra creaminess.
- Leftovers store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For gluten-free, ensure the cream of mushroom soup is labeled gluten-free or make your own.
