FAQ About Beef Stroganoff

Is beef stroganoff healthy?

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.

Can beef stroganoff be frozen?

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.

How to thicken beef stroganoff?

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.

How to make beef stroganoff using ground beef?

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.

Which cut for beef stroganoff?

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.

Vital Ingredients for Traditional Beef Stroganoff

Egg noodles – Any type of cooked pasta, rice or quinoa can replace egg noodles, if desired.
Mushrooms – Any kind of mushrooms works great in this recipe, but white button mushrooms are my personal fave.
Beef round or flank steak – Cut the steak into thin slices and be sure to cut against the grain. Chuck roast can be used as an alternate cut of beef.
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 or beef stock – 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. Sour cream can be replaced with heavy cream, if desired.
Toppings – I enjoy topping the beef mixture with sliced fresh green onions, fresh parsley, Parmesan cheese, black pepper or extra sour cream.
