# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Warm up the olive oil in a big, deep pan over medium-high flame. When it's shimmering, throw in your beef along with smoky paprika, thyme, powdered garlic, powdered onion, salt, and pepper. Break up the meat as it cooks until it's totally browned and done, about 6-8 minutes. Pour off any extra fat if you need to.
02 -
Turn down the heat to medium and toss your sliced mushrooms into the pan. Stir them now and then while they cook down, turn golden, and shrink up - this'll take around 8-10 minutes.
03 -
While your mushrooms cook, get some salty water boiling in a pot. Cook your noodles until they're just tender but still firm. Drain them and set them aside for later.
04 -
Scatter flour over your beef and mushrooms, then mix it in well. Pour about a third of your beef stock into the pan and stir to scrape up all the tasty bits from the bottom. Add in your Worcestershire sauce and Dijon (if you're using it).
05 -
Add the rest of your beef stock and let everything come to a gentle bubble. Turn down the heat and let it simmer, giving it a stir every so often, for about 10 minutes.
06 -
Take your pan off the heat and let it cool down for a minute. Stir in your room-temp Greek yogurt until everything's well mixed. Taste and add more seasonings if you want.
07 -
Ladle your hot stroganoff over the cooked noodles and sprinkle with herbs if you like. Or you can just mix the noodles right into the sauce before serving.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Skip the fat-free yogurt as it'll get lumpy. Make sure your yogurt isn't cold and add it after taking the pan off the heat.
