Ingredient List with Notes
Ingredient Notes
- Beef- I prefer to use beef tenderloin.
- Mushrooms-Cremini mushrooms or baby Bella mushrooms.
- Worcestershire sauce-Don't leave this out it adds so much flavor.
- Beef stock- You can also use beef bouillon cubes dissolved in water.
- Pasta-I use egg noodles but any type of flat pasta will work.
- Sour cream- Greek yogurt can also be used.
How to make this recipe
- Step 1- Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat (I use cast iron) Add oil to the skillet and add in beef strips and cook the beef. Remove to a platter
- Step 2-Melt the butter in the skillet and add in the onions, fresh mushrooms, and garlic and saute
- Step 3-Sprinkle in the flour.
- Step 4-Then add in the cups of beef broth and simmer on medium-low heat until thickened.
- Step 5-Add in the paprika and Worcestershire sauce and mix.
- Step 6-Whisk together and simmer.
- Step 7-Whisk in sour cream until combined.
- Step 8-Fold in the cooked pasta and beef.
Recipe Tips
- Sear your meat in batches, if you overcrowd the pan it will steam and you won't get a nice crust.
- I like serving this with pasta but it's also delicious with mashed potatoes or white rice.
- Don't let the sauce come to a boil after adding the cup of sour cream, boiling it can cause it to curdle.
Recipe Faq's
Beef ribeye, top sirloin steak, or beef tenderloin are all great choices of quality steak. I don't recommend using cheaper cuts of beef, the meat is thinly sliced and seared at high heat and tender steak does better here.
Yes, ground beef stroganoff is also delicious! You'll want to use ground beef with some fat like an 80/20 or even 85/15 just drain off any extra fat after browning.
Store this homemade beef stroganoff recipe in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
Yes, you can freeze stroganoff recipes, it's best to freeze just the cream sauce, pasta tends to get a little mushy after being frozen. Freeze in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and heat until warmed through and add to fresh pasta for easy weeknight meals.

Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 10 ounces extra wide egg noodles
- 1 1/2 pounds steak rib eye, tenderloin, or sirloin steak
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cups mushrooms sliced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 3 cups low sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

- Slice the beef against the grain into thin strips. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Sear the beef strips quickly about 1-2 minutes (it's ok if they have a little pink they will cook more in the sauce.) and remove to a plate.
- Add the butter to the skillet and melt. Add in the onions, mushrooms, and garlic and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir.
- Add in beef stock and whisk. Allow the broth to come to a low boil then reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened about 3 minutes.
- Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce, paprika, Dijon mustard, and sour cream.
- Fold in pasta and beef, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

I do have a chicken stroganoff recipe that uses thighs https://butteryourbiscuit.com/creamy-chicken-stroganoff/
Could this be done with chicken thighs?
Add all the flour into the vegetables. There is a video there for you to view if needed 🙂
You say in the recipe to add the”remaining” flour to the vegetables-where was the first part of the flour to be used?
