Ingredients

  • 9 oz cremini or white mushrooms 250 g
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 lb lean ground beef 500 g
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup water 175 ml
  • 1 cup beef or chicken stock 250 ml
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 heaped tablespoons sour cream or smetana
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • parsley

Instructions

  • Mushrooms: Clean and slice the mushrooms. Heat the oil or butter in a large pan (which has a lid) and fry the mushrooms for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a plate and set aside.
    9 oz cremini or white mushrooms/ 250 g + 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or unsalted butter
  • Brown ground beef: In the meantime, finely chop the onions and the garlic. Place them in the same pan together with the ground beef, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the meat is brown and the onions slightly golden. Break the lumps of meat using a wooden spoon during this time.

  • Add ingredients: Whisk together the flour and the water. Add the mixture to the pan together with the chicken or beef stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  • Simmer Stroganoff: Turn the heat down to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 1 hour, stirring from time to time.
  • Add the mushrooms to the sauce. Continue simmering for 10 more minutes without the lid; the sauce should thicken slightly.
  • Stir in the sour cream or smetana. Don't let the dish come to a boil again.

  • Serve: Sprinkle some chopped parsley over the ground beef stroganoff and serve with noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
