Why This Recipe Works
Beef Stroganoff (or “frogasnoff” as my little bro used to call it) was in our dinner rotation. This was a favorite dinner option when I was a kid and I was always super excited when my stepmom told us it was stroganoff night. It’s the best of all the dinner worlds!
This meal is meaty, creamy, comforting, hearty and satisfying. It is the perfect homemade meal. This is a seriously great recipe that everyone at the table will devour and swoon over. Comfort food at its BEST!
Recipe Ingredients
Egg noodles – Brown rice or quinoa can replace egg noodles, if desired.
Beef round steak – Cut the steak into 2-inch strips and be sure to cut against the grain.
Flour – Use a gluten-free variety of flour (and replace egg noodles with a GF pasta) to make this a meal free of gluten.
Beef broth – For a less salty/more healthy meal, use low-sodium beef broth.
Sour cream – A great way to slim this recipe down is by replacing the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
Toppings – I enjoy topping the beef mixture with sliced fresh green onions, but fresh parsley is a great topping, as well.
How To Make Beef Stroganoff With Noodles
Step 1
Add a 12-ounce package of egg noodles to boiling water and cook till al dente. Drain the cooked noodles and rinse them in cold water. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the strips of beef and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan when the centers are still pink. Cover to keep warm and set aside.
Step 2
Add olive oil to the pan if needed. Heat to medium in the skillet and add the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the flour and whisk until mixed together. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and stir in the sour cream. Simmer until mixture is thick, about 5 minutes (simmer longer, if needed).
Step 3
Add remaining steak back to the pan and cook until it is completely heated through. Serve immediately over the cooked egg noodles. Top with sliced green onions and season with salt and pepper!
Recipe Notes
- Don’t forget one last dash of salt and pepper before diving in!
- For a gluten free meal, serve over rice and replace the flour with cornstarch. Also keep an eye on the labels for the broth and Worcestershire sauce.
- Add 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard along with the beef broth mixture for an extra splash of flavor.
- Throw the leftovers (if there are any!) into a mushroom soup the following day.
- Mushrooms and beef stroganoff are made for each other. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup to the sauce mixture or add extra mushrooms to the recipe.
- Add extra garlic for a spicier meal or add a few splashes of your favorite hot sauce toward the end of cooking the meal. A pinch of cayenne pepper would be a great spicy addition, too.
FAQ About Beef Stroganoff
The cream sauce that typically goes into beef stroganoff makes it a fairly high-calorie meal. To slim the recipe down, replace the sour cream with yogurt and substitute quinoa or brown rice with the egg noodles.
Because beef stroganoff contains sour cream, fresh is always best when enjoying this meal. If you’d like to freeze it, place into an airtight container (minus cooked noodles) and freeze for up to 3 months.
Create a corn starch or flour slurry and add it to beef stroganoff in order to thicken the sauce. Add equal amounts corn starch/flour and cold water to a small bowl and whisk until combined. Add to the stroganoff mixture.
Beef stroganoff is typically served with pasta (egg noodles are a favorite because of their thickness), but mashed potatoes or rice are tasty options, as well.
Making beef stroganoff using ground beef is definitely an option. Use ground beef in place of steak, ensuring that you do not break the meat up into small pieces. You will want to keep the meat in the dish chunky, so bigger chunks of beef is always better.
Round steak or rump steak are classic options for this dish, but don’t feel limited if you have another cut on hand because sirloin steak is good too. Use the beef you have, even if it is ground beef.
