Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 9 oz cheese tortellini
Liquid Ingredients
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
Seasonings & Condiments
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Others
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté Onion: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet with the onions. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Add Aromatics and Spices: Stir in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Cook for about 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld.
- Simmer with Broth: Pour in beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to combine and liquid to slightly reduce.
- Cook Tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini to the skillet and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Finish with Cream: Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens slightly, coating the tortellini and beef mixture.
- Season and Garnish: Taste the stroganoff and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- Use fresh parsley as garnish for enhanced flavor and presentation.
- Drain excess fat after browning the beef to reduce greasiness and enhance taste.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a milk alternative.
- Cheese tortellini can be replaced with mushroom or spinach tortellini for variation.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
