Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup fat-free sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Rice (for serving)
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Brown beef, garlic, and onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef with minced garlic and finely chopped onion until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the onions are tender. This should take about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the beef into crumbles. |
| 2 | Prepare sour cream mixture: While the beef is cooking, take a small mixing bowl and combine the fat-free sour cream with all-purpose flour until well blended. This mixture will help thicken our stroganoff sauce later on. |
| 3 | Create sauce: To the sour cream and flour mixture, gradually add water, beef bouillon granules, and black pepper, whisking continuously until smooth and free of lumps. Set aside for now. |
| 4 | Incorporate sour cream mixture: Once the beef is cooked through, pour the prepared sour cream mixture into the skillet with the beef, garlic, and onion. Stir well to combine, ensuring the sauce coats the beef evenly. |
| 5 | Thicken and simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly. This should take around 3-4 minutes. |
| 6 | Final touches: After the sauce has thickened, continue to cook and stir for an additional minute to ensure everything is well incorporated and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. |
| 7 | Serve: Serve your delicious Quick Beef Stroganoff hot over a bed of fluffy rice, and enjoy the comforting flavors that will surely satisfy your hunger and soothe your soul. Alternatively, it pairs wonderfully with egg noodles for a classic stroganoff experience. |
