Equipment
- Large skillet with lid
- Sharp knife or mandoline
- Medium bowl
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cutting board
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes sliced 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion diced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Slice your potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife into uniform pieces about 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Place the slices in a bowl of cool water to prevent browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for 2-3 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add the diced onion to the beef and continue cooking until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the beef and onion mixture. Stir continuously until the flour is completely incorporated and no white spots remain.
- Gently fold in the sour cream until it's fully combined with the beef mixture. This creates the base of your creamy sauce.
- Pour in the beef broth, stirring slowly to create a smooth, consistent sauce. If the sauce looks a bit separated, don't worry, it will come together as it simmers.
- Drain the potato slices and add them to the skillet, making sure they're all submerged in the sauce. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium, and let everything simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove the skillet from heat and let your stroganoff rest for 3-5 minutes. This allows the sauce to thicken to the perfect consistency and lets the flavors fully develop.
Notes
For extra depth of flavor, try adding mushrooms or a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Leftovers reheat well and make for a delicious next-day meal.
