Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz mushrooms, sliced (preferably cremini or button)

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

8 oz egg noodles or any pasta of your choice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and mushrooms and sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender.

        Make the Sauce: Sprinkle the flour over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes before adding beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir to combine and reduce heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Add the Sour Cream: Once the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream until fully combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.

            Combine and Serve: Toss the cooked egg noodles into the stroganoff sauce until well coated. Heat gently if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
