# Instructions:
01 -
In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef, smoked paprika, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking apart the meat with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through, for 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
02 -
Reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften, brown, and shrink, for about 8 to 10 minutes.
03 -
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles to al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
04 -
Sprinkle the flour over the top of the beef and mushrooms, then stir to coat. Add about one-third of the beef broth and stir to deglaze the pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard (if using).
05 -
Pour in the remaining beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
06 -
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit for 1 minute to cool slightly. Stir in the room-temperature Greek yogurt until combined. Adjust seasonings as needed.
07 -
Serve the stroganoff hot over the prepared egg noodles, garnished with parsley or thyme if desired. Alternatively, mix the noodles directly into the sauce and serve.
# Notes:
01 -
Do not use fat-free Greek yogurt to avoid curdling. Ensure yogurt is at room temperature and stirred in off the heat.
