How to Make Beef for Stroganoff

Making beef stroganoff only requires a few simple ingredients and a bit of patience for low and slow cooking. Below, find a quick hitter overview of the recipe before you dive in.

• Cook the Veggies and Beef: In a deep skillet or pot with a lid, sauté diced onions and mushrooms. Next, add thinly cut strips of beef and sauté. Cover with boiled water and add in beef broth concentrate. Cover with a lid and let the mixture simmer for 2 hours.
• Add in Flour and Cream: Add in the flour and stir to combine, followed by the heavy whipping cream. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens.

Tips for Making the Best Beef Stroganoff

Below, find a handful of tips and tricks to help you make best beef stroganoff.

• Slice the beef strips against the grain. Use a sharp knife to cut the beef against the grain and break up the tough muscle fibers. This will make the beef easier to chew and so much more tender!
• Keep the heat on a low simmer. To make the beef ultra-tender and prevent the cream from curdling, make sure you keep the heat to a low simmer.
• Precook the pasta. Precooking the pasta is key before adding it to the stroganoff. This removes the excess starch, which could cause your sauce to over-thicken.

FAQ

Serving Beef Stroganoff

Beef stroganoff is tasty served year-round, but it’s especially good on a cold winter’s day. If you want to go the traditional route, serve it with egg noodles and a dollop of sour cream on top. You can also smother it on steamed white rice, creamy mashed potatoes, quinoa, or buckwheat.

Storing Beef Stroganoff

• Refrigerator: Store leftover stroganoff in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep for up to 5 days. The kicker? The flavors will continue to develop in the fridge, making for some pretty killer leftovers.
• Freezer: Not recommended. The cream sauce doesn’t thaw very well and tends to separate.
