One-Pot Beef Stroganoff

This one-pot stroganoff gets its classic flavor from browning the ground beef with mushrooms and finishing with a creamy sauce - cooking the noodles directly in the beef stock means they absorb more flavor than if they were boiled separately.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ~1.5 lbs lean ground beef
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 shallots, chopped fine
  • ~1 lb white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • ~6 cups beef stock, salted
  • 1 lb egg noodles or other pasta
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp onion powder
  • 3/4 tsp dried parsley
  • 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Parmesan cheese, for garnish
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Brown the Beef and Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for ~3-4 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until it begins to brown.

Add the garlic, shallots, mushrooms, and all the seasonings. Cook for another ~2-3 minutes, until the mushrooms have softened and the garlic is fragrant.

Cook the Pasta

Add the pasta and beef stock to the pot and stir to combine. Cover and let the mixture simmer for ~8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is fully cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Finish the Cream Sauce

Once the pasta is almost cooked, remove the lid and stir in the sour cream and heavy cream. Let the stroganoff simmer uncovered for another ~2-3 minutes.

If the sauce seems too dry, add a splash more beef stock. If it has too much liquid, let it simmer with the lid off for a few more minutes to reduce.

Top with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving.
