# How to Make It:
01 -
Warm the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add your beef with the smoky paprika, thyme, powdered garlic, powdered onion, salt, and pepper. Break the meat apart while cooking until it's no longer pink and totally done, roughly 6-8 minutes. Drain off any fat if needed.
02 -
Lower to medium heat and toss mushrooms in with the cooked beef. Cook until they get soft, brown and shrink down, stirring now and then for about 8-10 minutes.
03 -
While that's happening, get a large pot of salty water boiling. Cook your noodles until they're soft but still firm, following what the package says. Drain and set them aside.
04 -
Dust the flour over your beef and mushrooms. Mix well to coat everything. Gradually pour in about a third of the beef stock, scraping any stuck bits from the bottom. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard if you want it.
05 -
Add the rest of your beef stock and bring to a gentle bubble. Turn down the heat and let it cook for 10 minutes, giving it a stir occasionally.
06 -
Pull the pan off the heat and let it cool down a bit. Slowly stir in your room-temp Greek yogurt or sour cream until it's all mixed in smoothly. Taste and add more seasoning if you want.
07 -
Put noodles on plates and top with your stroganoff mixture, then sprinkle with fresh herbs if you'd like. Or just mix everything together in the pan and serve it that way.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Don't use fat-free Greek yogurt as it might break apart. Your yogurt should be room temperature, and always take the pan off the heat before mixing it in.
