Step-by-Step Directions
- Spiralize the zucchini into pale green noodles. Toss with a pinch of salt in a colander, rest for 10 minutes, then thoroughly pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat 1 tbsp (15g) butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced button mushrooms in a single layer. Let them sear undisturbed for 3 minutes until you achieve dark-edged sliced button mushrooms. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart, until you have thoroughly browned ground beef crumbles. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Lower heat to medium. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the beef broth to deglaze the pan. Stir in the Dijon mustard and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet entirely from the heat. Gently fold in the sour cream and the reserved seared mushrooms. Stir until a thick, glossy, light beige sour cream sauce forms.
- Briefly warm the dry zucchini noodles in a separate skillet for 1-2 minutes until tender. Plate the noodles in shallow bowls, generously ladle the dense and hearty stroganoff sauce over top, and finish with a delicate scattering of finely chopped bright green fresh parsley flakes.
Notes
Tip 1: Always remove the pan from the heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
Tip 2: Never boil zucchini noodles; dry sautéing prevents a watery sauce.
