A quick and easy one-pan mushroom stroganoff that delivers creamy, comforting flavor with simple ingredients perfect for cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces (450g) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (240ml) vegetable broth or mushroom stock (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream or Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • Optional: Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients by cleaning and slicing mushrooms, finely chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic (5-7 minutes).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter until shimmering.
  3. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for a few minutes, then stir occasionally until golden brown and moisture evaporates (8-10 minutes).
  5. Sprinkle flour evenly over mushrooms and stir to coat. Mix in smoked paprika and Dijon mustard.
  6. Slowly pour in vegetable broth (and wine if using), stirring to scrape browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  7. Lower heat to medium-low and stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt until fully incorporated. Heat gently without boiling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, over cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Do not rush mushroom browning to avoid steaming; let mushrooms sit undisturbed initially. Use room temperature sour cream or yogurt to prevent curdling. Season gradually and keep heat moderate after adding sour cream. If sauce is too thick, add broth or water; if too thin, simmer longer uncovered. Fresh parsley adds brightness and color. For vegan version, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt or cashew cream and use vegetable broth. For gluten-free, use cornstarch instead of flour.
