[](https://www.food.com/user/10260) In \*real\* beef stroganoff, high quality beef is cut in very thin slices and simmered in red wine or sherry with mushrooms and garlic, salt and pepper. The beef is served in one dish, the sour cream in another, and the noodles in a third. Each diner layers the three separate parts according to his/her own taste. This is \*not\* beef stroganoff. [Molly Schneider](https://www.food.com/user/10260) Reply 7 See 4 Replies 2. [](https://www.food.com/user/319283) pretty awesome and wholesome meal! I had never cooked stroganoff (other than hamb. helper) and this was top notch! I used fresh mushrooms and garlic and minced onions as my fresh ones had turned on me. I think the only way I can improve upon my cooking it will be to have fresh onions in it as well next time. I substituted the sirloin for top round that i had in the freezer, I think most cuts of beef would do very well with this recipe\! [Andrea](https://www.food.com/user/319283) Reply 6 3.

I add just a bit more sour cream but, beyond that, follow this recipe to a T!! I prefer to serve over white rice rather than noodles, though, and it gives it a different taste that highlights the sauce.

I doubled the mushrooms, added a bit more beef broth and sour cream (we like a lot of sauce), and threw in about 1/4 cup of cooking sherry. I also used 4 cloves of real garlic in place of the garlic powder. Next time I will add even more mushrooms as we really like lots. [Silverhawk13](https://www.food.com/user/1499641) Reply 1 4.
