Juicy beef, tender noodles, and a creamy mushroom sauce combine in one skillet for the ultimate cozy meal.\nIt’s quick, beginner-friendly, and made with simple ingredients you probably already have. Boil the noodles, sauté the beef and veggies, and simmer everything in a rich, sour cream gravy. The aroma alone feels nostalgic, like a hug from the kitchen.\nThis recipe takes about 30 minutes, and those quiet, happy minutes at the dinner table make the effort worth it.\nIngredient notes\nBeef\n– I like ribeye or sirloin because they cook quickly and stay tender. Ground beef works too if that’s what you have on hand.\nEgg noodles\n– Stroganoff is traditionally served with egg noodles, but any pasta you love will work.\nButter\n– Steak and butter are best friends, so it makes perfect sense here. It’s the base of that rich flavor.\nOnions, mushrooms, and garlic\n– Simple veggies that build the savory foundation and give the sauce lots of texture.\nBeef broth, flour, and Worcestershire\n– This combo thickens into a silky, gravy-like sauce that makes stroganoff irresistible.\nSour cream and Dijon\n– Stirred in at the end for a creamy, tangy finish with just a touch of heat.\nFresh parsley\n– Totally optional, but I love it for the pop of color and freshness against all the brown.\nWhat’s the best beef for stroganoff?\nI’ve made stroganoff with different beef cuts. These are my favorites:\nRibeye\n– Juicy and rich with plenty of marbling. It’s the priciest option, so I like to grab it when it’s on sale.\nSirloin or New York Strip\n– Lean, tender cuts that cook fast. Just sear briefly to avoid chewy bites.\nGround Beef\n– Budget-friendly, flavorful, and a great substitute if you don’t want to splurge on steak.\nI definitely skip tougher cuts (like chuck or stew meat) since they need hours to soften. Stick with tender, sauté-friendly beef for the best results.\nHow to make beef stroganoff\nEnjoy these step-by-step instructions, or skip to the full, printable recipe below.\nBoil the egg noodles until tender, then drain well and set aside. Heat a skillet until hot. Slice the beef, season with salt and pepper, and sear in half the butter until slightly pink. Transfer the meat with its juices to a plate and cover to keep warm.\nMelt the remaining butter in the same skillet. Add the onions, garlic, and mushrooms, and sauté until tender and lightly browned.\nWhisk together the beef broth, flour, and Worcestershire in a bowl. Pour into the skillet with the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. It may look too thin at first, but give it time.\nReturn the beef to the skillet and stir it into the mushroom sauce. Mix in the sour cream and Dijon. Let the meat cook a little longer if you prefer the meat to be done more.\nMake-ahead tip:\nLet the stroganoff sauce and noodles cool completely. Refrigerate them separately in airtight containers, and follow the reheat instructions below when ready to serve.\nTo serve, spoon the stroganoff over the egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley. Or stir the noodles into the sauce and heat until warmed through.\nRecipe Tips\nCaramelize the onions:\nFor deeper flavor, cook the onions over medium-low heat before adding the mushrooms (this will take 15 minutes).\nDon’t overcrowd the pan.\nSear beef in batches if needed. Overcrowding makes the beef steam instead of brown.\nAdjust the sauce:\nAdd broth or pasta water after the sour cream for more sauce.\nSalt lightly:\nTaste your stroganoff before adding more salt, as the broth, beef, butter, and sour cream all contain sodium.\nRecipe Variations\nNo Dijon:\nUse one teaspoon of mustard powder. It’s less tangy but still adds heat.\nNoodles:\nSwap egg noodles for any pasta, adjusting cook time as needed.\nButter:\nAdds richness, but olive oil works as a lighter option.\nMushrooms:\nBaby bella, white button, cremini, or portobello all work well.\nBroth:\nSubstitute beef broth with chicken, vegetable, or reduced-sodium broth.\nSour cream:\nReplace with Greek yogurt or cream cheese. Nonfat yogurt makes it lighter.\nNo Worcestershire:\nUse soy sauce or tamari instead.\nServing ideas\nBeef stroganoff is most commonly served over egg noodles and all vegetables are welcome as sides. Add a pop of green color with\nBrussels sprouts\n,\nasparagus\n, or green beans. Lemony\nkale salad\n, corn on the cob, and beets are always easy – and no one ever turns down a nosh of\nbread\n.\nBeef stroganoff is most often served over egg noodles, but it pairs well with almost any vegetable.

To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator for an overnight stay. Do not thaw at room temperature.\nReheat\n: Set your microwave or stove to medium heat, as sour cream can curdle from excessive heat.\nMore dinner recipes\nOld Fashioned Ham and Beans\nBeef\nBraciole\nFeta Pasta\nChicken Vodka Sauce Pasta\nSpaghetti with Meat Sauce\n📖 Recipe\nHomemade beef stroganoff is a 30-minute skillet classic made with juicy steak, tender mushrooms, and fluffy egg noodles in savory, creamy stroganoff sauce.

Do not thaw at room temperature.\n- **Reheat**: Set your microwave or stove to medium heat, as sour cream can curdle from excessive heat.\n## More dinner recipes\n- [Old Fashioned Ham and Beans](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/ham-and-bean-soup\/)\n- Beef [Braciole](https:\/\/www.fromachefskitchen.com\/beef-braciole\/)\n- [Feta Pasta](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/baked-feta-pasta-recipe\/)\n- [Chicken Vodka Sauce Pasta](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/chicken-penne-alla-vodka\/)\n- [Spaghetti with Meat Sauce](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/instant-pot-spaghetti\/)\n## 📖 Recipe\n![beef stroganoff in skillet with wooden serving spoon](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='150'%20height='150'%20viewBox='0%200%20150%20150'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n## Simple Beef Stroganoff\nHomemade beef stroganoff is a 30-minute skillet classic made with juicy steak, tender mushrooms, and fluffy egg noodles in savory, creamy stroganoff sauce.

Adjust as needed.\n\n### Ingredients 1x 2x 3x\n- ▢\n  8 ounces Uncooked Egg Noodles, (about 4 cups)\n- ▢\n  16 ounces Beef Sirloin, [strip steak](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/new-york-strip-steak\/) or ribeye\n- ▢\n  Salt and Black Pepper, as needed for seasoning\n- ▢\n  4 tablespoons Butter, divided in half\n- ▢\n  1 large Onion, thinly sliced\n- ▢\n  16 ounces Mushrooms, (sliced, about 8 cups)\n- ▢\n  4 cloves Garlic, minced\n- ▢\n  3 cups [Beef Broth](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3zptsa3), or other broth\n- ▢\n  \\&frac14; cup All Purpose Flour\n- ▢\n  2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce\n- ▢\n  \\&frac12; cup Sour Cream, \\* see recipe notes\n- ▢\n  2 teaspoons Dijon\n- ▢\n  Salt and Black Pepper, to taste\n- ▢\n  (optional) Fresh Parsley, for garnish\n\n### Instructions\n- **Cook the noodles** – Cook EGG NOODLES according to package directions. Drain and set aside.\n- **Sear the beef** – While the noodles cook, heat a skillet over medium-high until very hot. Slice the BEEF against the grain and season with SALT and PEPPER. Melt half the BUTTER in the skillet, then sear the beef until medium or your desired doneness. Transfer to a covered plate.\n- **Cook the vegetables** – Melt remaining BUTTER in the skillet. Add ONION and GARLIC; sauté until tender. Stir in MUSHROOMS and cook until softened.\n- **Make the sauce (choose one method)**\n  \n  **Slurry method** – Whisk BEEF BROTH, FLOUR, and WORCESTERSHIRE in a bowl until smooth. Pour into the skillet with the mushrooms, bring to a boil, then simmer 5–8 minutes, stirring, until thickened. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon with no floury taste.\n  \n  **Skillet roux method** – Sprinkle FLOUR over the mushrooms and cook 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in BEEF BROTH and WORCESTERSHIRE, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened.\n- **Return the beef** – Reduce the heat to low and return the BEEF and any juices to the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes, until warmed through.\n- **Finish the sauce** – Remove from heat. Stir in SOUR CREAM and DIJON. Season with SALT and PEPPER.\n- **Serve** – Serve over EGG NOODLES or stir noodles into the skillet. Garnish with PARSLEY if desired.\n- **Store** – Cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.\n\nDid you make this?

Overcrowding makes the beef steam instead of brown.\n\n**Adjust the sauce:** Add broth or pasta water after the sour cream for more sauce.\n\n**Salt lightly:** Taste your stroganoff before adding more salt, as the broth, beef, butter, and sour cream all contain sodium.\n\n### Equipment\n- [chef's knife](http:\/\/amzn.to\/1O4KTLG)\n- [cutting board](http:\/\/amzn.to\/1O4Ne9m)\n- [3\\.5 quart saucepan](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3bA7TLx) to cook egg noodles\n- [colander](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3hcR8UJ) to drain egg noodles\n- [measuring cups](https:\/\/amzn.to\/2YMIxDi)\n- [measuring spoons](https:\/\/amzn.to\/2YMIxDi)\n- [wire whisk](http:\/\/amzn.to\/2dLJzCZ)\n- 12 inch skillet\n- [stirring utensil](https:\/\/amzn.to\/34IGNd4)\n- [airtight storage container](https:\/\/amzn.to\/47Ti6wp)\n\n### Nutrition\nServing: 1cup \\| Calories: 308kcal \\| Carbohydrates: 29g \\| Protein: 21g \\| Fat: 12g \\| Saturated Fat: 6g \\| Polyunsaturated Fat: 1g \\| Monounsaturated Fat: 3g \\| Trans Fat: 0\\.2g \\| Cholesterol: 81mg \\| Sodium: 487mg \\| Potassium: 592mg \\| Fiber: 2g \\| Sugar: 4g \\| Vitamin A: 286IU \\| Vitamin C: 4mg \\| Calcium: 58mg \\| Iron: 2mg\n\nNutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on brands, ingredients, and portions.\n\nCourse Dinner Recipes, entree\n\nCuisine American\n\nEasy FREE recipes to your inbox weeklyJoin [The Kitchen Girl community](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/subscribe\/)\\!\n\n## More Dinner Recipes\n- [![Three chicken lettuce wraps filled with chopped vegetables, diced chicken, and topped with crushed peanuts and chili sauce, served on a round wooden board.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='300'%20height='300'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)Chicken Lettuce Wraps](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/rotisserie-chicken-teriyaki-lettuce-cups\/)\n- [![crispy baked smashed potatoes on baking sheet](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='300'%20height='300'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)Crispy Baked Smashed Potatoes](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/naked-baked-smashed-potatoes\/)\n- [![Six seasoned, crispy baked chicken legs are served on a white plate garnished with chopped parsley.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='300'%20height='300'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)Baked Chicken Legs (Crispy, Easy Oven Recipe)](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/simple-baked-chicken-leg-drumsticks\/)\n- [![A close-up of a slice of spinach and ricotta lasagna, featuring layers of spinach, melted cheese, tomato sauce, and herbs, served on a dark plate.](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='300'%20height='300'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20300'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)Easy Spinach Lasagna Recipe](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/spinach-lasagna-recipe\/)\n\n4\\.8K shares\n\n- Pinterest\n- [Facebook](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fthekitchengirl.com%2Fhomemade-beef-stroganoff-in-30-minutes%2F%3Futm_source%3Dfacebook%26utm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_campaign%3Dsocial-pug&t=Simple%20Beef%20Stroganoff%20%28quick%20and%20easy%21%29%20-%20The%20Kitchen%20Girl \"Share on Facebook\")\n\n![Traci](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20width='70'%20height='70'%20viewBox='0%200%2070%2070'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n#### About Traci\nI’m the recipe author, photographer, and videographer behind The Kitchen Girl food blog established in 2013.

Juicy beef, tender noodles, and a creamy mushroom sauce combine in one skillet for the ultimate cozy meal.\n\nIt’s quick, beginner-friendly, and made with simple ingredients you probably already have. Boil the noodles, sauté the beef and veggies, and simmer everything in a rich, sour cream gravy. The aroma alone feels nostalgic, like a hug from the kitchen.\n\nThis recipe takes about 30 minutes, and those quiet, happy minutes at the dinner table make the effort worth it.\n\n## Ingredient notes\n- **Beef** – I like ribeye or sirloin because they cook quickly and stay tender. Ground beef works too if that’s what you have on hand.\n- **Egg noodles** – Stroganoff is traditionally served with egg noodles, but any pasta you love will work.\n- **Butter** – Steak and butter are best friends, so it makes perfect sense here. It’s the base of that rich flavor.\n- **Onions, mushrooms, and garlic** – Simple veggies that build the savory foundation and give the sauce lots of texture.\n- **Beef broth, flour, and Worcestershire** – This combo thickens into a silky, gravy-like sauce that makes stroganoff irresistible.\n- **Sour cream and Dijon** – Stirred in at the end for a creamy, tangy finish with just a touch of heat.\n- **Fresh parsley** – Totally optional, but I love it for the pop of color and freshness against all the brown.\n\n![beef stroganoff ingredients portioned into small bowls and labeled](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/beef-stroganoff-recipe-1.jpg)\n\n## What’s the best beef for stroganoff?\nI’ve made stroganoff with different beef cuts. These are my favorites:\n\n- **Ribeye** – Juicy and rich with plenty of marbling. It’s the priciest option, so I like to grab it when it’s on sale.\n- **Sirloin or New York Strip** – Lean, tender cuts that cook fast. Just sear briefly to avoid chewy bites.\n- **Ground Beef** – Budget-friendly, flavorful, and a great substitute if you don’t want to splurge on steak.\n\nI definitely skip tougher cuts (like chuck or stew meat) since they need hours to soften. Stick with tender, sauté-friendly beef for the best results.\n\n## How to make beef stroganoff\nEnjoy these step-by-step instructions, or skip to the full, printable recipe below.\n\nBoil the egg noodles until tender, then drain well and set aside. Heat a skillet until hot. Slice the beef, season with salt and pepper, and sear in half the butter until slightly pink. Transfer the meat with its juices to a plate and cover to keep warm.\n\nMelt the remaining butter in the same skillet. Add the onions, garlic, and mushrooms, and sauté until tender and lightly browned.\n\nWhisk together the beef broth, flour, and Worcestershire in a bowl. Pour into the skillet with the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. It may look too thin at first, but give it time.\n\nReturn the beef to the skillet and stir it into the mushroom sauce. Mix in the sour cream and Dijon. Let the meat cook a little longer if you prefer the meat to be done more.\n\n**Make-ahead tip:** Let the stroganoff sauce and noodles cool completely. Refrigerate them separately in airtight containers, and follow the reheat instructions below when ready to serve.\n\nTo serve, spoon the stroganoff over the egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley. Or stir the noodles into the sauce and heat until warmed through.\n\n![beef stroganoff in skillet with wooden serving spoon](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/beef-stroganoff-a_108.jpg)\n\n## Recipe Tips\n- **Caramelize the onions:** For deeper flavor, cook the onions over medium-low heat before adding the mushrooms (this will take 15 minutes).\n- **Don’t overcrowd the pan.** Sear beef in batches if needed. Overcrowding makes the beef steam instead of brown.\n- **Adjust the sauce:** Add broth or pasta water after the sour cream for more sauce.\n- **Salt lightly:** Taste your stroganoff before adding more salt, as the broth, beef, butter, and sour cream all contain sodium.\n\n![bowl of beef stroganoff served over egg noodles](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/beef-stroganoff-b_100.jpg)\n\n## Recipe Variations\n- **No Dijon:** Use one teaspoon of mustard powder. It’s less tangy but still adds heat.\n- **Noodles:** Swap egg noodles for any pasta, adjusting cook time as needed.\n- **Butter:** Adds richness, but olive oil works as a lighter option.\n- **Mushrooms:** Baby bella, white button, cremini, or portobello all work well.\n- **Broth:** Substitute beef broth with chicken, vegetable, or reduced-sodium broth.\n- **Sour cream:** Replace with Greek yogurt or cream cheese. Nonfat yogurt makes it lighter.\n- **No Worcestershire:** Use soy sauce or tamari instead.\n## Serving ideas\nBeef stroganoff is most commonly served over egg noodles and all vegetables are welcome as sides. Add a pop of green color with [Brussels sprouts](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/air-fryer-brussels-sprouts\/), [asparagus](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/air-fryer-asparagus\/), or green beans. Lemony [kale salad](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/lemony-kale-chickpea-avocado-salad\/), corn on the cob, and beets are always easy – and no one ever turns down a nosh of [bread](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/french-bread-recipe\/).\n\nBeef stroganoff is most often served over egg noodles, but it pairs well with almost any vegetable. Add a pop of green with [Brussels sprouts](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/air-fryer-brussels-sprouts\/), [asparagus](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/air-fryer-asparagus\/), or green beans. A lemony [kale salad](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/lemony-kale-chickpea-avocado-salad\/) or beets also make easy sides. And of course, no one ever turns down a slice of [French bread](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/french-bread-recipe\/) for soaking up that creamy sauce.\n\n## Storage and reheat instructions\n- **Refrigerate:** Once beef stroganoff has cooled completely, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.\n- **Freeze:** Transfer cooled stroganoff to freezer containers and freeze up to 3 months – or longer, if vacuum sealed. To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator for an overnight stay. Do not thaw at room temperature.\n- **Reheat**: Set your microwave or stove to medium heat, as sour cream can curdle from excessive heat.\n## More dinner recipes\n- [Old Fashioned Ham and Beans](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/ham-and-bean-soup\/)\n- Beef [Braciole](https:\/\/www.fromachefskitchen.com\/beef-braciole\/)\n- [Feta Pasta](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/baked-feta-pasta-recipe\/)\n- [Chicken Vodka Sauce Pasta](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/chicken-penne-alla-vodka\/)\n- [Spaghetti with Meat Sauce](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/instant-pot-spaghetti\/)\n## 📖 Recipe\n![beef stroganoff in skillet with wooden serving spoon](https:\/\/thekitchengirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/beef-stroganoff-a_109-2-150x150.jpg)\n\nHomemade beef stroganoff is a 30-minute skillet classic made with juicy steak, tender mushrooms, and fluffy egg noodles in savory, creamy stroganoff sauce.

Beef broth, flour, and Worcestershire – This combo thickens into a silky, gravy-like sauce that makes stroganoff irresistible. Sour cream and Dijon – Stirred in at the end for a creamy, tangy finish with just a touch of heat. Fresh parsley – Totally optional, but I love it for the pop of color and freshness against all the brown. What’s the best beef for stroganoff? I’ve made stroganoff with different beef cuts. These are my favorites: Ribeye – Juicy and rich with plenty of marbling. It’s the priciest option, so I like to grab it when it’s on sale. Sirloin or New York Strip – Lean, tender cuts that cook fast. Just sear briefly to avoid chewy bites. Ground Beef – Budget-friendly, flavorful, and a great substitute if you don’t want to splurge on steak. I definitely skip tougher cuts (like chuck or stew meat) since they need hours to soften. Stick with tender, sauté-friendly beef for the best results. How to make beef stroganoff Enjoy these step-by-step instructions, or skip to the full, printable recipe below. Boil the egg noodles until tender, then drain well and set aside. Heat a skillet until hot. Slice the beef, season with salt and pepper, and sear in half the butter until slightly pink. Transfer the meat with its juices to a plate and cover to keep warm. Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet. Add the onions, garlic, and mushrooms, and sauté until tender and lightly browned. Whisk together the beef broth, flour, and Worcestershire in a bowl. Pour into the skillet with the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. It may look too thin at first, but give it time. Return the beef to the skillet and stir it into the mushroom sauce. Mix in the sour cream and Dijon. Let the meat cook a little longer if you prefer the meat to be done more. Make-ahead tip: Let the stroganoff sauce and noodles cool completely. Refrigerate them separately in airtight containers, and follow the reheat instructions below when ready to serve. To serve, spoon the stroganoff over the egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley. Or stir the noodles into the sauce and heat until warmed through. Recipe Tips Caramelize the onions: For deeper flavor, cook the onions over medium-low heat before adding the mushrooms (this will take 15 minutes). Don’t overcrowd the pan. Sear beef in batches if needed. Overcrowding makes the beef steam instead of brown. Adjust the sauce: Add broth or pasta water after the sour cream for more sauce. Salt lightly: Taste your stroganoff before adding more salt, as the broth, beef, butter, and sour cream all contain sodium. Recipe Variations No Dijon: Use one teaspoon of mustard powder. It’s less tangy but still adds heat. Noodles: Swap egg noodles for any pasta, adjusting cook time as needed. Butter: Adds richness, but olive oil works as a lighter option. Mushrooms: Baby bella, white button, cremini, or portobello all work well. Broth: Substitute beef broth with chicken, vegetable, or reduced-sodium broth. Sour cream: Replace with Greek yogurt or cream cheese. Nonfat yogurt makes it lighter. No Worcestershire: Use soy sauce or tamari instead. Serving ideas Beef stroganoff is most commonly served over egg noodles and all vegetables are welcome as sides. Add a pop of green color with Brussels sprouts , asparagus , or green beans. Lemony kale salad , corn on the cob, and beets are always easy – and no one ever turns down a nosh of bread . Beef stroganoff is most often served over egg noodles, but it pairs well with almost any vegetable. Add a pop of green with Brussels sprouts , asparagus , or green beans. A lemony kale salad or beets also make easy sides. And of course, no one ever turns down a slice of French bread for soaking up that creamy sauce. Storage and reheat instructions Refrigerate: Once beef stroganoff has cooled completely, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days. Freeze: Transfer cooled stroganoff to freezer containers and freeze up to 3 months – or longer, if vacuum sealed. To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator for an overnight stay. Do not thaw at room temperature. Reheat : Set your microwave or stove to medium heat, as sour cream can curdle from excessive heat.

This recipe takes about 30 minutes, and those quiet, happy minutes at the dinner table make the effort worth it. ## Ingredient notes - Beef – I like ribeye or sirloin because they cook quickly and stay tender.

I include both measurements in case a scale isn’t available. 👍 Also apologies for the delayed response. Hope you enjoy the recipe! 🙂 5. Nancy J Muir says September 20, 2024 at 7:51 am should I freeze noodles and stroganoff separately or together? [Reply](https://thekitchengirl.com/homemade-beef-stroganoff-in-30-minutes/#comment-60852) - Traci says March 10, 2025 at 9:30 pm Hi Nancy, sorry I missed your question earlier! You can freeze them together, but for the best texture, I recommend freezing the stroganoff and noodles separately or cooking fresh noodles when reheating. Thanks and enjoy\! 6.

Loved it! Thank you for the recipe [Reply](https://thekitchengirl.com/homemade-beef-stroganoff-in-30-minutes/#comment-54785) - Traci says December 09, 2022 at 6:07 am Yayy! You're so welcome and thank you for the feedback. So glad you enjoyed! I would love beef stroganoff served like that too 🙂 12.

It's the best traditional beef stroganoff I've had since I was a kid. Nailed it again\! [Reply](https://thekitchengirl.com/homemade-beef-stroganoff-in-30-minutes/#comment-54440) - Traci says October 28, 2022 at 9:21 am This just makes my day 🙂 Thank youuuu\! 13. Amber says November 17, 2020 at 10:35 pm ![5 stars](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='80'%20height='16'%20viewBox='0%200%2080%2016'%3E%3C/svg%3E) I was searching for a stroganoff recipe that didn't call for sour cream or cream of mushroom soup, because I kept thinking you should be able to make it with a white sauce/milk gravy, and I just wanted to use what I have on hand. I wasn't having any luck, but I finally searched for "stroganoff made with milk" and found your recipe. Looks delicious, and I can't wait to try it\! [Reply](https://thekitchengirl.com/homemade-beef-stroganoff-in-30-minutes/#comment-49980) - The Kitchen Girl says November 18, 2020 at 12:57 pm Awesome, Amber! Yep, I like the creaminess it adds to stroganoff when sour cream isn't an option. Thanks for the feedback 🙂 14.

Amazing! I even made a separate veggie brother version of the white sauce for me, the only vegetarian in my family of 4, and tossed it in the pasta before adding the meat! Delicious! All of my family loved it, including my mom who was over for dinner. We'll make this again, for sure. I bought the ingredients for several of your recipes. Making Arugula Pesto with whole wheat Penne pasta today, and the Vegetarian Cocounut Chickpea Curry tomorrow. Can't wait! Thank you for your awesome work. Big hugs from Minnesota\!

Juicy beef, tender noodles, and a creamy mushroom sauce combine in one skillet for the ultimate cozy meal. It’s quick, beginner-friendly, and made with simple ingredients you probably already have. Boil the noodles, sauté the beef and veggies, and simmer everything in a rich, sour cream gravy. The aroma alone feels nostalgic, like a hug from the kitchen. This recipe takes about 30 minutes, and those quiet, happy minutes at the dinner table make the effort worth it. ## Ingredient notes - Beef – I like ribeye or sirloin because they cook quickly and stay tender. Ground beef works too if that’s what you have on hand. - Egg noodles – Stroganoff is traditionally served with egg noodles, but any pasta you love will work. - Butter – Steak and butter are best friends, so it makes perfect sense here. It’s the base of that rich flavor. - Onions, mushrooms, and garlic – Simple veggies that build the savory foundation and give the sauce lots of texture. - Beef broth, flour, and Worcestershire – This combo thickens into a silky, gravy-like sauce that makes stroganoff irresistible. - Sour cream and Dijon – Stirred in at the end for a creamy, tangy finish with just a touch of heat. - Fresh parsley – Totally optional, but I love it for the pop of color and freshness against all the brown. ![beef stroganoff ingredients portioned into small bowls and labeled](https://thekitchengirl.com/wp-content/uploads/beef-stroganoff-recipe-1.jpg) ## What’s the best beef for stroganoff? I’ve made stroganoff with different beef cuts. These are my favorites: - Ribeye – Juicy and rich with plenty of marbling. It’s the priciest option, so I like to grab it when it’s on sale. - Sirloin or New York Strip – Lean, tender cuts that cook fast. Just sear briefly to avoid chewy bites. - Ground Beef – Budget-friendly, flavorful, and a great substitute if you don’t want to splurge on steak. I definitely skip tougher cuts (like chuck or stew meat) since they need hours to soften. Stick with tender, sauté-friendly beef for the best results. ## How to make beef stroganoff Enjoy these step-by-step instructions, or skip to the full, printable recipe below. Boil the egg noodles until tender, then drain well and set aside. Heat a skillet until hot. Slice the beef, season with salt and pepper, and sear in half the butter until slightly pink. Transfer the meat with its juices to a plate and cover to keep warm. Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet. Add the onions, garlic, and mushrooms, and sauté until tender and lightly browned. Whisk together the beef broth, flour, and Worcestershire in a bowl. Pour into the skillet with the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. It may look too thin at first, but give it time. Return the beef to the skillet and stir it into the mushroom sauce. Mix in the sour cream and Dijon. Let the meat cook a little longer if you prefer the meat to be done more. Make-ahead tip: Let the stroganoff sauce and noodles cool completely. Refrigerate them separately in airtight containers, and follow the reheat instructions below when ready to serve. To serve, spoon the stroganoff over the egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley. Or stir the noodles into the sauce and heat until warmed through. ![beef stroganoff in skillet with wooden serving spoon](https://thekitchengirl.com/wp-content/uploads/beef-stroganoff-a_108.jpg) ## Recipe Tips - Caramelize the onions: For deeper flavor, cook the onions over medium-low heat before adding the mushrooms (this will take 15 minutes). - Don’t overcrowd the pan. Sear beef in batches if needed. Overcrowding makes the beef steam instead of brown. - Adjust the sauce: Add broth or pasta water after the sour cream for more sauce. - Salt lightly: Taste your stroganoff before adding more salt, as the broth, beef, butter, and sour cream all contain sodium. ![bowl of beef stroganoff served over egg noodles](https://thekitchengirl.com/wp-content/uploads/beef-stroganoff-b_100.jpg) ## Recipe Variations - No Dijon: Use one teaspoon of mustard powder. It’s less tangy but still adds heat. - Noodles: Swap egg noodles for any pasta, adjusting cook time as needed. - Butter: Adds richness, but olive oil works as a lighter option. - Mushrooms: Baby bella, white button, cremini, or portobello all work well. - Broth: Substitute beef broth with chicken, vegetable, or reduced-sodium broth. - Sour cream: Replace with Greek yogurt or cream cheese. Nonfat yogurt makes it lighter. - No Worcestershire: Use soy sauce or tamari instead. ## Serving ideas Beef stroganoff is most commonly served over egg noodles and all vegetables are welcome as sides. Add a pop of green color with [Brussels sprouts](https://thekitchengirl.com/air-fryer-brussels-sprouts/), [asparagus](https://thekitchengirl.com/air-fryer-asparagus/), or green beans. Lemony [kale salad](https://thekitchengirl.com/lemony-kale-chickpea-avocado-salad/), corn on the cob, and beets are always easy – and no one ever turns down a nosh of [bread](https://thekitchengirl.com/french-bread-recipe/). Beef stroganoff is most often served over egg noodles, but it pairs well with almost any vegetable. Add a pop of green with [Brussels sprouts](https://thekitchengirl.com/air-fryer-brussels-sprouts/), [asparagus](https://thekitchengirl.com/air-fryer-asparagus/), or green beans.

To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator for an overnight stay. Do not thaw at room temperature. - Reheat: Set your microwave or stove to medium heat, as sour cream can curdle from excessive heat. ## More dinner recipes - [Old Fashioned Ham and Beans](https://thekitchengirl.com/ham-and-bean-soup/) - Beef [Braciole](https://www.fromachefskitchen.com/beef-braciole/) - [Feta Pasta](https://thekitchengirl.com/baked-feta-pasta-recipe/) - [Chicken Vodka Sauce Pasta](https://thekitchengirl.com/chicken-penne-alla-vodka/) - [Spaghetti with Meat Sauce](https://thekitchengirl.com/instant-pot-spaghetti/) ## 📖 Recipe ![beef stroganoff in skillet with wooden serving spoon](https://thekitchengirl.com/wp-content/uploads/beef-stroganoff-a_109-2-150x150.jpg) Homemade beef stroganoff is a 30-minute skillet classic made with juicy steak, tender mushrooms, and fluffy egg noodles in savory, creamy stroganoff sauce.
