How to Make One-Pot Ground Beef Stroganoff

Step 1: Cook the Mushrooms

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.

Step 2: Brown the Beef

Add the butter to the same pot. Once melted, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula, until browned and cooked through. If using regular ground beef with a higher fat content, drain off any excess grease.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in the flour and paprika, stir to combine, and cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. Pour in the white wine (or extra broth) and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until the wine is almost evaporated. Add the beef broth and stir to combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 4: Finish the Stroganoff

Add the noodles and the cooked mushrooms (along with any accumulated juices) to the pot. Stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are cooked through and al dente. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
