Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 oz mushrooms (cremini, button, or mixed), sliced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce for vegetarian)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 tablespoons butter (for potatoes)
- 1/2 cup warm milk (plus more as needed)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Add cubed potatoes to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter and warm milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then cover to keep warm.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Add mushrooms and let them cook without stirring for 2 minutes to brown. Then stir occasionally until golden and most of the moisture has evaporated.
- Build the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Slowly pour in the broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Dijon mustard, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
- Make It Creamy: Reduce heat to low. Stir in the sour cream until smooth and silky, making sure not to let it boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve and Garnish: Spoon the creamy mushroom stroganoff over a generous helping of mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve warm.
Notes
For the best flavor, use a mix of mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, and button. Don’t skip browning the mushrooms — that’s where the flavor builds. If making ahead, store the sauce and potatoes separately and reheat gently with a splash of milk or broth.
