How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the step-by-step instructions for this Garlic Parmesan Beef Stroganoff:

Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and minced garlic. Cook, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until the beef is browned and the onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Make the Sauce: Once the beef is browned, stir in the beef broth, sour cream, and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Add the Parmesan and Noodles: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the cooked egg noodles, ensuring everything is well combined and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
Season and Serve: Season the Garlic Parmesan Beef Stroganoff Skillet with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, savoring every delectable bite.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some tips to ensure your Garlic Parmesan Beef Stroganoff turns out perfectly:

Use Lean Ground Beef: For a less greasy dish, opt for 90% lean ground beef.
Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Cook the egg noodles just until al dente, as they will finish cooking in the skillet.
Simmer the Sauce: Letting the sauce simmer allows it to thicken and develop a rich, creamy texture.
Customize to Taste: Add some diced mushrooms or a sprinkle of paprika to make the dish your own.

How to Serve

Garlic Parmesan Beef Stroganoff is a complete meal on its own, but here are a few ideas to elevate your dinner:

Side Salad: A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette provides a refreshing contrast to the rich dish.
Garlic Bread: Serve with a slice of crusty garlic bread for dipping in the creamy sauce.
Roasted Vegetables: Add some roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus for a balanced meal.

Make Ahead and Storage

Here’s how you can prepare ahead and store this Garlic Parmesan Beef Stroganoff:

Make Ahead: Cook the egg noodles and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Brown the beef and prepare the sauce, then refrigerate until ready to combine and serve.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
Freezing: While the dish can be frozen, the cream may separate upon reheating. For best results, freeze the beef and sauce separately from the noodles.

And there you have it—a delicious, easy, and satisfying Garlic Parmesan Beef Stroganoff that’s perfect for any night of the week. It’s one of those 30-minute meals that feels special but is simple enough for a weeknight dinner. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
