Beef Stroganoff

This is the best beef stroganoff I've ever made. I got the recipe from allrecipes.com but tweaked it enough that I'm posting an updated version here instead of just giving you a link.

Ingredients
  • 1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles, cooked and drained
  • 6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water until done, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a large skillet, cook mushrooms and onions in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until soft; remove from pan.
  3. Using the same pan, brown ground beef. Drain and rinse. Melt remaining butter and mix in flour. Stir in beef broth, and cook until slightly thickened. Add worcestershire sauce. Add mushroom and onion mixture; stir in sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until sauce is hot, but not boiling. Serve sauce over egg noodles.
A few thoughts: I probably did less beef than is listed and it was fine. I also like to serve this over rice instead of noodles sometimes. You might want to add half the worcestershire sauce and then taste it before adding more. I like the full amount, but it's a different kick so you should just make sure it fits your taste buds before adding too much.

I'm excited to make this, because flib used to make some killer stroganoff.

I forgot I used to be the stroganoff queen. You know, stroganoff is really a word we should use more often.
