Creamy Beef Stroganoff Recipe
Looking for something delicious for dinner tonight? Try this Beef Stroganoff! This homemade meal is pretty easy to make, and you might already have all the simple ingredients in your kitchen.
Like a classic beef stroganoff recipe, this family favorite is made with cuts of beef, garlic, onions, mushrooms and a delicious creamy sauce! The gravy is extra creamy due to the seasoned beef broth/cornstarch mixture with added sour cream to make a very smooth sauce.
What’s the best beef for beef stroganoff?
Everyone has their preference for what’s the best beef for stroganoff. Here are the best choices.
- Boneless Sirloin Steak
- Boneless Flank Steak
- Boneless Rib Eye
- Beef Chuck Roast
What is Stroganoff sauce made of?
Stroganoff sauce is made with beef broth that’s been seasoned with butter, garlic and onion slices, and thickened with cornstarch. Finally, mushrooms and sour cream are added in, creating a delicious beefy gravy sauce!
How to Make Beef Stroganoff
Remove any fat from beef and cut into bite size pieces. Season meat with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic. Cook beef and onions until beef is browned.
Pour beef broth into a small bowl and add in the cornstarch, whisking until it’s no longer clumpy.
Add broth mixture to the beef and onion skillet and bring to a boil.
Add in mushrooms, ground mustard and Worcestershire sauce while stirring. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
When done, remove the lid and stir in the sour cream, mixing until the sauce is creamy.
Serve over a plate of egg noodles. Add parsley to garnish if desired and an additional dollop of sour cream on top.
What to serve with beef stroganoff?
We love serving it over egg noodles, but you can also serve over rice, any type of pasta, mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower.
It’s a pretty filling meal already with the beef and egg noodles, but you can also add some roasted vegetables on the side, such as roasted broccoli or garlic green beans.
Substitutions
- Sour cream: Instead of sour cream you can use greek yogurt or cream cheese.
- Beef: You can use ground beef for a ground beef stroganoff.
- Mushrooms: I love button mushrooms, but any type of mushrooms can work for this recipe, including canned mushrooms if that’s all you have on hand.
I hope you enjoy this Beef Stroganoff recipe soon for dinner!

Hi Pam,
You don’t have to use sour cream. But, you can use milk cream. I purchase those sold in cans from the brand Nestle.

Heck yes! I’m so glad you made this. I love stroganoff, and the only reason I don’t make it at home is that there’s a takeout restaurant in town that makes a GREAT version of it. That place is my go-to for the nights when I just can’t…cook…anything….else. Haha.
