I love simple dishes that don’t use too many ingredients. That being said, I don’t like to skimp on flavor either! My Ground Beef Stroganoff is the perfect example of a dish that’s both low-maintenance and tasty. I’m so excited to bring it into your home!
I love to cook, but I don’t love cleaning up big messes. Therefore, I am a huge fan of one-pot meals. It’s also really easy to double or triple the recipe since it’s cooked in one pot. Meal-preppers rejoice!
Best Ground Beef for Stroganoff
Since the base of your sauce is cream, you are going to want to use leaner ground beef so you don’t have too much fat. I recommend using 90% lean beef. If you must, you can ground beef with a higher fat content but it will release more fat.Â
Tip
: If your ground beef has a higher fat content, brown it first and strain out the liquid fat that cooks off before you combine it with your sauce.Â
What is Stroganoff?
Beef Stroganoff has graced the tables of many over the centuries. But, who can take credit for this lusciously creamy, beefy dish?
Authentic Beef Stroganoff
was dreamt up in Russia in the early 1800s by the personal chef of Count Stroganoff, a dignitary in the court of Alexander III at the time. The chef then named his creation after the Count and the rest is history.Â
How to Make Ground Beef Stroganoff
Brown your ground beef in a dutch oven or deep skillet with olive oil.Â
To the ground beef add chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until lightly browned.
Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add flour, stir to combine everything together and saute for another minute.
Pour in your broth and scrape any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add in your heavy whipping cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and bring to a simmer.Â
Remove from heat. While stirring constantly, add in sour cream slowly.Â
How to Serve Ground Beef Stroganoff
Ground Beef Stroganoff is just as versatile as the classic version. You can serve it with noodles, rice,
buckwheat
or my favorite,
mashed potatoes
. You could even slather the meat sauce over some
Â
roasted potatoes
.
If you want to skip the carbs, pour your beef stroganoff on top of some
roasted veggies
. My
roasted Brussels sprouts
 will do the trick.Â
For a garnish, chop up some fresh parsley or dill and sprinkle it right on top. Herbs add a nice pop of color, but more importantly, a welcome contrast to the beefy flavor.Â
Storing Leftover Beef Stroganoff
Refrigerate
your leftovers by storing them in an airtight container for up to a week. You can reheat in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave.Â
Freeze
stroganoff in an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag. Allow it to thaw overnight before serving. Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat.Â
Cook’s Tip:
If you serve your stroganoff with noodles, make sure to store the pasta separately from the sauce. Noodles have a tendency to absorb liquid and will suck up your sauce overnight!Â

Very good easy recipe.
I added extra garlic (because we like garlic).
I also doubled the sauce/gravy (who does not like extra gravy?!) because I planned to add the noodles directly into the meat mixture and wanted to have more than the noodles could suck up.
Will definitely make again.
Thank you

You do have to double up on the flour too, if you’re doubling up on the liquid, correct?

Hi Kayla! If you’re wanting to make double the sauce, yes, you should double the ingredients accordingly to get the right flavor and consistency.

Since the base of your sauce is cream, you are going to want to use leaner ground beef so you don’t have too much fat. I recommend using 90% lean beef. If you must, you can ground beef with a higher fat content but it will release more fat.
**Tip**: If your ground beef has a higher fat content, brown it first and strain out the liquid fat that cooks off before you combine it with your sauce.

## What is Stroganoff?
Beef Stroganoff has graced the tables of many over the centuries. But, who can take credit for this lusciously creamy, beefy dish? [Authentic Beef Stroganoff](https://natashaskitchen.com/beef-stroganoff/) was dreamt up in Russia in the early 1800s by the personal chef of Count Stroganoff, a dignitary in the court of Alexander III at the time. The chef then named his creation after the Count and the rest is history.
## How to Make Ground Beef Stroganoff
1. Brown your ground beef in a dutch oven or deep skillet with olive oil.
2. To the ground beef add chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until lightly browned.
3. Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Add flour, stir to combine everything together and saute for another minute.
5. Pour in your broth and scrape any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add in your heavy whipping cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and bring to a simmer.
6. Remove from heat. While stirring constantly, add in sour cream slowly.

## How to Serve Ground Beef Stroganoff
Ground Beef Stroganoff is just as versatile as the classic version. You can serve it with noodles, rice, [buckwheat](https://natashaskitchen.com/how-to-cook-buckwheat-kasha/) or my favorite, [mashed potatoes](https://natashaskitchen.com/creamy-mashed-potatoes-recipe/). You could even slather the meat sauce over some [roasted potatoes](https://natashaskitchen.com/oven-roasted-baby-red-potatoes/).
If you want to skip the carbs, pour your beef stroganoff on top of some [roasted veggies](https://natashaskitchen.com/roasted-vegetables-recipe/). My [roasted Brussels sprouts](https://natashaskitchen.com/roasted-brussels-sprouts/) will do the trick.
For a garnish, chop up some fresh parsley or dill and sprinkle it right on top. Herbs add a nice pop of color, but more importantly, a welcome contrast to the beefy flavor.

## Storing Leftover Beef Stroganoff
**Refrigerate** your leftovers by storing them in an airtight container for up to a week. You can reheat in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave.
**Freeze** stroganoff in an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag. Allow it to thaw overnight before serving. Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat.
> **Cook’s Tip:** If you serve your stroganoff with noodles, make sure to store the pasta separately from the sauce. Noodles have a tendency to absorb liquid and will suck up your sauce overnight\!
