Why youâll love this family favorite recipe!
My method ensures the
beef is so tender
and packs in a lot of
flavor
.
Mushrooms and onions not only add flavor, but they stretch the meal further, too!
Simple
ingredients,
balanced
flavors, and
quick
preparation set this recipe above the rest.
This recipe is
comforting and delicious
!
Best Steak for Beef Stroganoff
Ribeye
is super tender and flavorful (richer because of the marbling).
Sirloin
is tender, not too pricey, and easy to find.
Tenderloin/Filet
is the most tender, but usually overkill/expensive for stroganoff.
Flank steak
or
skirt steak
can also be used, but be sure to slice
very
thin against the grain and donât overcook.
You can also use leftover steak or beef tenderloin.
What Is Stroganoff Sauce Made Of?
Beef stroganoff sauce is rich and creamy with savory mushrooms and a little tang from sour cream, all simmered together into an easy, comforting gravy.
Mushrooms
: Cremini mushrooms are my first choice, but any kind will do. You can try portobello or button mushrooms.
Broth
: Use beef broth or stock in this recipe. If using low-sodium you may need to add extra salt.
Sour Cream:
Sour cream is traditional and turns the gravy into a creamy mushroom sauce. Replace it with full fat Greek yogurt to add protein and reduce calories.
How to Make Beef Stroganoff
Sear the beef in seasoned flour and transfer to a plate
(full recipe below)
.
Cook onion in butter, and then add the mushrooms and garlic.
Stir in remaining sauce ingredients and cook until thickened.
Return beef to the skillet and cook until beef is heated through, then stir in the sour cream.
Brown the beef in small batches; if you add too much to the skillet, it will steam instead of browning.
The beef is steak, so it can be a little bit pink inside.
For the best flavor, âdeglazeâ the skillet in Step 6 by scraping up the yummy bits and stirring them into the sauce. You can use a splash of dry white wine if youâd like!
Thicken the sauce by mixing a 1:1 ratio of cornstarch to water (this is called a
slurry
). Pour a little bit at a time while stirring the sauce in Step 6.
How to Store Beef Stroganoff
Store leftover beef stroganoff separate from noodles in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze portions without the noodles for up to a month and thaw in the refrigerator.
Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little milk if needed.

Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and cut it into ½-thick strips or 1-inch cubes.
Season the beef with seasoned salt and pepper, then toss with 1 tablespoon of flour. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown beef in small batches for about 1 minute on each side until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and onion to the pan, cooking until the onion is softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic, continuing to cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour to the mushroom mixture and cook for one minute.
Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and let simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
Add the browned beef and any juices on the plate to the pot with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the beef is heated through.
Remove from the heat and stir in sour cream. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve over egg noodles and garnish with parsley if desired.
For the most flavorful dish,
choose striploin or ribeye
. Any variety of steak will work.
Brown the beef in small batches for the best browning. Do not cook it all the way through; itâs steak and can be a little bit pink inside.
For a
thicker sauce
, make a slurry with equal parts cornstarch and water (start with 1 ½ tablespoons each). Whisk it into the boiling sauce a bit at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
Donât boil the sour cream or it can curdle.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or the freezer for 4 months.

Really enjoyed this recipe. Used sirloin but I think the ribeye steak would be quite a bit better.
Always appreciate Hollyâs recipes, sometimes not as much as others, but they are, for the most part very good. Thanks

I added a bit more thyme, sour cream and mustard and while it was good it didnât have that iconic flavour I was hoping for. itâs a great base recipe that can be easily tweaked for preferences which I will use again to get to my desired taste

This recipe looks delicious! I used to love beef stroganoff when I was younger. Iâm now allergic to mushrooms. I would love to find a way to recreate the flavor of beef stroganoff without the mushrooms. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks\!

You could just leave the mushrooms out, and while it will change the flavor slightly Iâm certain it will still be delicious\!

Was excited to try this recipe but it fell flat. It wasnât quite the taste Iâm used to and seemed a little bland. I used a different brand of Dijon mustard so maybe that was it. However, I donât ever recall using mustard in my stroganoff before. Thanks\!

Iâve made this dish before and itâs my husbandâs go to for a cold day. Today, I made this dish during our vacation with his family and it was a HIT! Everyone went back for seconds and there were zero leftovers. I received many compliments.

Hi Becky, adding wine is optional. If you would like to try it, I would add Ÿ to ½ cup of red wine at the beginning of step 6 to deglaze the pan. Scrape up all the yummy brown bits for the best flavor! I hope this helps.

| Readable Markdown | My family LOVES this easy beef stroganoff! Strips of beef are smothered in a rich, savory sauce with onions and mushrooms in a recipe that comes together in no time.

## Why youâll love this family favorite recipe\!

My method ensures the ***beef is so tender*** and packs in a lot of **flavor**.
Mushrooms and onions not only add flavor, but they stretch the meal further, too\!
**Simple** ingredients, **balanced** flavors, and **quick** preparation set this recipe above the rest.
This recipe is **comforting and delicious**\!

## Best Steak for Beef Stroganoff
- **Ribeye** is super tender and flavorful (richer because of the marbling).
- **Sirloin** is tender, not too pricey, and easy to find.
- **Tenderloin/Filet** is the most tender, but usually overkill/expensive for stroganoff.
- **Flank steak** or **skirt steak** can also be used, but be sure to slice *very* thin against the grain and donât overcook.
You can also use leftover steak or beef tenderloin.
## What Is Stroganoff Sauce Made Of?
Beef stroganoff sauce is rich and creamy with savory mushrooms and a little tang from sour cream, all simmered together into an easy, comforting gravy.
- **Mushrooms**: Cremini mushrooms are my first choice, but any kind will do. You can try portobello or button mushrooms.
- **Broth**: Use beef broth or stock in this recipe. If using low-sodium you may need to add extra salt.
- **Sour Cream:** Sour cream is traditional and turns the gravy into a creamy mushroom sauce. Replace it with full fat Greek yogurt to add protein and reduce calories.



## How to Make Beef Stroganoff
1. Sear the beef in seasoned flour and transfer to a plate **(full recipe below)**.
2. Cook onion in butter, and then add the mushrooms and garlic.
3. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients and cook until thickened.
4. Return beef to the skillet and cook until beef is heated through, then stir in the sour cream.




- Brown the beef in small batches; if you add too much to the skillet, it will steam instead of browning.
- The beef is steak, so it can be a little bit pink inside.
- For the best flavor, âdeglazeâ the skillet in Step 6 by scraping up the yummy bits and stirring them into the sauce. You can use a splash of dry white wine if youâd like\!
- Thicken the sauce by mixing a 1:1 ratio of cornstarch to water (this is called a [slurry](https://www.spendwithpennies.com/what-is-a-slurry/)). Pour a little bit at a time while stirring the sauce in Step 6.

## How to Store Beef Stroganoff
Store leftover beef stroganoff separate from noodles in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze portions without the noodles for up to a month and thaw in the refrigerator.
Reheat on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little milk if needed.

Servings 4 servings
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
- â˘
1½ pounds sirloin steak or ribeye
- â˘
½ teaspoon [seasoned salt](https://www.spendwithpennies.com/homemade-seasoned-salt/)
- â˘
½ teaspoon black pepper
- â˘
3 tablespoons [all-purpose flour](https://amzlink.to/az0KleE9x5g2h) divided
- â˘
2 tablespoons [olive oil](https://amzlink.to/az023FSrncaoQ)
- â˘
2 tablespoons salted butter
- â˘
1 small onion diced
- â˘
8 ounces mushrooms sliced, white or cremini
- â˘
1 clove garlic minced
- â˘
14\.5 ounces beef broth
- â˘
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- â˘
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
- â˘
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- â˘
½ cup sour cream
- â˘
egg noodles pasta, or mashed potatoes for serving
- Pat the steak dry with a paper towel and cut it into ½-thick strips or 1-inch cubes.
- Season the beef with seasoned salt and pepper, then toss with 1 tablespoon of flour. Shake off any excess flour.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown beef in small batches for about 1 minute on each side until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and onion to the pan, cooking until the onion is softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic, continuing to cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour to the mushroom mixture and cook for one minute.
- Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and let simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
- Add the browned beef and any juices on the plate to the pot with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the beef is heated through.
- Remove from the heat and stir in sour cream. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve over egg noodles and garnish with parsley if desired.
- For the most flavorful dish, **choose striploin or ribeye**. Any variety of steak will work.
- Brown the beef in small batches for the best browning. Do not cook it all the way through; itâs steak and can be a little bit pink inside.
- For a **thicker sauce**, make a slurry with equal parts cornstarch and water (start with 1 ½ tablespoons each). Whisk it into the boiling sauce a bit at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Donât boil the sour cream or it can curdle.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or the freezer for 4 months.
