Equipment

  • large nonstick skillet
  • slotted spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef (85/15 or 80/20)
  • 1-2 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil if needed, plus extra for oiling the pan
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped (½ to ¾ cup)
  • 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced ¼-inch thick
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup cognac (can also use dry white wine)
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-2 teaspoons sweet Hungarian paprika to taste
  • 1-½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves divided
  • 3-½ to 4 cups beef broth or stock see note
  • 8 ounces dried extra wide egg noodles
  • ½ to ⅔ cup sour cream depending on how creamy you like your stroganoff
  • 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice optional
  • kosher salt
  • freshly-ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Lightly-oil a large nonstick skillet or saute pan with vegetable oil.
  • Brown the ground beef with a few small pinches of salt and black pepper over medium-high heat. Let the beef develop a good crust before you start to flip it.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
  • Add onions, mushrooms, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper to the pan. Sauté until softened and starting to brown.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Stir in the cognac and simmer for 1-2 minutes, until almost completely evaporated.
  • Stir the ground beef back into the pan, sprinkle with flour, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the beef broth, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and 1 teaspoon of thyme. Stir in the uncooked egg noodles and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
  • Add the sour cream, remaining thyme, and parsley to the pan and stir to combine.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • If desired, stir in lemon juice to brighten the sauce or serve with lemon wedges.
  • Sprinkle remaining parsley over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

Different brands of egg noodles might require varying quantities of liquid. If the sauce seems too thin, let it stand uncovered for 5 minutes. If too thick, thin it out with broth.
