    An Easy Beef Stroganoff made with tender, sautéed beef cooked with lightly caramelized onions and mushrooms in a sour cream-based sauce served over egg noodles or rice. The dish's flavors are rich and savory, with a creamy and slightly tangy stroganoff sauce that balances the earthy flavors of the mushrooms and the tender, juicy beef

    What Makes this recipe worth cooking!

    • An easy weeknight comfort food dinner ready in under an hour.
    • This beef stroganoff recipe does not use canned mushroom soup.

    Main Ingredients Notes

    The full list of ingredients, detailed instructions, and the notes for this Beef Stroganoff Recipe is included in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

    Steak, onion, garlic and seasonings for beef stroganoff.
    • Steak is used for a classic beef Stroganoff; however, you can make this more economical by using ground beef or even substitute boneless skinless lean chicken.
    • Mushrooms are a key ingredient and provide that earthy flavor to the dish. I used button mushrooms for this recipe because they are easy to find in most supermarkets; cremini or portabello mushrooms also work well.
    • Worcerstshire can be substituted with tamari sauce, a Japanese soy sauce that does not contain wheat and is a little richer and thicker than traditional soy sauce. You would substitute at a 1:1 ratio.
    • The Sour Cream can be substituted with equal amounts of plain Greek Yogurt, a Nuefchatel cheese, or even cream cheese.
    • A lower sodium Beef Broth or a homemade broth is preferred; however, you can substitute it with a Vegetable broth with very good results.

    Recipe Instructions

    One: Heat a heavy skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil and tip to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add the mushroom and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Occasionally shake the pan to cook the mushrooms evenly.

    Two: In the same skillet, add the steak strips and sear the steak until well browned, about 2 minutes on each side. When the meat is seared, transfer it to the bowl with the mushroom and set aside.

    Three: Add ½ cup of the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits (deglazing). Simmer for about 30 seconds, then pour the broth into the bowl with the meat and mushrooms.

    Four: In the same skillet, melt the butter and saute the onions until soft, about 2 minutes; add the garlic, and cook for another 30 seconds.

    Five: Stir in the tomato paste and flour with a whisk.

    Six: Add the remaining beef broth, steak, and mushrooms into the skillet and cook for about 20 minutes. The sauce will start to thicken.

    Step Seven: Mix about ¼ cup of sauce from the skillet and sour cream in a small bowl. Add back into the skillet, stirring to combine.
