How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into how to make this easy and delicious Garlic Parmesan Beef Stroganoff skillet recipe:

  1. Cook the Noodles: Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil and cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. Make the Sauce: Once the beef is browned, stir in the beef broth, sour cream, and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Add the Parmesan and Noodles: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and the cooked egg noodles. Toss everything together until the cheese is melted and the noodles are well coated in the creamy sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Season and Serve: Season the Garlic Parmesan Beef Stroganoff Skillet with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, enjoying every delectable bite!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are a few tips to ensure your Garlic Parmesan Beef Stroganoff turns out perfectly every time:

  • Use lean ground beef for a healthier option without sacrificing flavor.
  • Don’t overcook the noodles—they should still have a bit of bite when you drain them.
  • If the sauce seems too thick, you can thin it out with a little extra beef broth.
  • For an extra creamy sauce, add a little more heavy cream or sour cream to taste.

How to Serve

This creamy garlic pasta dish is a complete meal on its own, but here are a few ideas for sides to round it out:

  • Steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans
  • A simple green salad
  • Garlic bread for dipping in the creamy sauce

Make Ahead and Storage

While this recipe is best made fresh, you can prepare it ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth if needed to restore the sauce’s creamy texture. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months—just thaw and reheat when you’re ready for a quick dinner.
