Creamy One-Skillet Beef Stroganoff Tortellini with Savory Sauce

Creamy One-Skillet Beef Stroganoff Tortellini with Savory Sauce

A luxurious twist on classic beef stroganoff featuring tender beef strips, cheese-filled tortellini, and mushrooms in a velvety sour cream sauce – all made in one skillet for easy cleanup!

Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 lb ground beef (I recommend 85-90% lean for good flavour without too much grease; grass-fed for richer taste if desired)

    • 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen; use your favourite brand)

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred, or any neutral cooking oil)

    • 1 small onion (about ¾ cup diced; yellow or white onion)

    • 3 cloves garlic (minced, about 1 tablespoon)

    • 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked paprika works great; smoked adds more depth)

    • ½ teaspoon ground mustard (dry mustard powder)

    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground is best, adjust to taste)

    • ¼ teaspoon salt (start with this amount; more if needed after tasting)

    • 1 ½ cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred to control saltiness)

    • 1 cup heavy cream (also known as whipping cream; makes it luxuriously creamy)

    • ½ cup sour cream (full-fat for best texture and tang)

    • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is always best for melting and flavour)

    • Fresh parsley (2-3 tablespoons, chopped for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat oil and butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In same skillet, sauté onion and mushrooms 5-6 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire, Dijon, and paprika.
  4. Bring to simmer and add tortellini. Cook according to package directions (usually 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  5. Return beef to skillet along with any juices. Stir in sour cream and Parmesan until creamy.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For richer sauce, substitute 1/2 cup broth with dry red wine
  • Add 1/4 tsp cayenne for spicy version
  • Use full-fat sour cream to prevent curdling
  • Leftovers thicken when refrigerated – thin with broth when reheating
