Step-by-Step Instructions and Helpful Tips
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for a few minutes until softened and translucent.
Helpful tip: Stir often to prevent the onion from browning too quickly.
Step 2
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until fully browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
Helpful tip: Draining excess fat keeps the sauce from becoming greasy.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Helpful tip: This step builds the signature stroganoff flavor.
Step 4
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally.
Helpful tip: Make sure the tortellini stays submerged for even cooking.
Step 5
Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until thickened and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Helpful tip: Simmer gently to prevent the cream from separating.
