Published 4/17/2021 • Updated 10/5/2023 We’re midwesterners and proud of it, which is why we’re dubbing this the best beef stroganoff on the internet. Our recipe is made 100% from scratch and does NOT include cream of mushroom soup. It does, however, contain a very secret ingredient –> Greek yogurt. We swear by this add for extra protein and creaminess. I am not a huge mushroom person on their own, but I love what umami does to this dish. Every time I make it, I fall a little bit more in love.
What You Need for Beef Stroganoff
The stroganoff sauce is truly what makes this special. As we mentioned above, there is no canned soup involved (although this is how it’s classically made). We made a homemade stroganoff sauce with a little bit of butter, flour, Greek yogurt, sour cream, and beef broth! You’ll also need Worcestershire and a little red wine. We tested this recipe with a variety of different egg noodle sizes, and extra wide is the way to go! For the beef, we used flank steak. It’s a tender, yet affordable cut of beef. Lastly, the veggies. Every stroganoff deserves mushrooms, onions, and garlic to add in
Recipe Variations
Swap the Beef: if you’d rather use a different cut of beef, feel free to try ribeye steak, New York strip, beef tenderloin, or stir-fried beef. Make slow cooker beef stroganoff: Cook a beef chuck roast and mushrooms in the slow cooker until it falls apart and then make the sauce. Serve it over egg noodles.
How do you add flavor to beef stroganoff?
There are a few ways to add flavor to beef stroganoff. You can add a pinch or two more of salt and sometimes that’s all you need. Cook up 1 pound of ground beef in the same spices and then follow the recipe as it’s written! If you are still looking for more flavor try adding a teaspoon more of Worcestershire sauce! Honestly, I like it heavy on the Worcestershire and tend to use more than the recipe calls for!
Can I make this beef stroganoff gluten free?
Yes, you can make this recipe gluten free. Replace to flour in this recipe with a 1:1 gluten free flour mix and use gluten free noodles.
Storage Suggestion
If possible, we recommend storing the stroganoff sauce separate from the noodles. Let the sauce cool completely before placing the sauce in an air tight container. Print Your Own Store in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
Can you freeze beef stroganoff?
We do not recommend freezing this recipe! Noodles do not freeze and thaw well.
How to Serve Beef Stroganoff
We love serving this recipe next to a warm loaf of sourdough bread (yes, more carbs), but some kind of garden salad or kale salad would be delicious.
