    Beef Stroganoff

    January 27, 2022 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    Ground beef and a tangy sour cream and mushroom sauce come together with five simple ingredients. This easy meal is ready in under thirty minutes! (Nut free, egg free, soy free, optional dairy free, gluten free)

    Introduction

    Beef stroganoff has a rich Russian history. Traditionally, stroganoff is made with beef fillet pieces and a creamy sour cream sauce. There are variations of stroganoff but you will find mushrooms, sour cream, beef and noodles in the dish. I simplify the dish a little by cutting down the amount of ingredients and baking time in the dish. 

    Ingredients

    Only five ingredients are needed to make this delicious meal. 

    • Ground beef or beef fillet
    • Sour cream
    • Cream of mushroom soup
    • Onion
    • Noodles

    Substitutions

    Several substitutions can be made easily to adapt this recipe if you need to:

    • Sour Cream: You can use a dairy free sour cream or greek yogurt. It will alter the taste of the dish a little. 
    • Cream of Mushroom Soup: I don’t love mushrooms. I can’t eat a mouthful of giant fungus. It’s texture is weird to me. So when I had this version that had cream of mushroom soup, I loved it! The mushrooms accented the dish, they didn’t overpower it. There are several dairy free cream of mushroom soups that you can use. 
    • Noodles: You will want egg noodles in this recipe but it’s easy to find egg free wide pasta noodles or gluten free egg noodles. 

    What Type of Meat Should I Use?

    I usually use ground beef. You can also use beef sirloin or top round steak cut into bite sized pieces. 

    Cooking

    This is an easy stovetop dish. Because I eat gluten free and the family doesn’t, I usually cook two different types of noodles. 

    Storing 

    This recipe is best enjoyed hot but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

    Freezing

    I’ve had some questions about freezing the stroganoff sauce. I’ve made the sauce with dairy and dairy free and I do not recommend freezing the sauce. Because of the ingredients in the sauce, it tends to separate when it freezes. 

    Okay, if I haven’t covered everything feel free to send me your question! But I’m getting really hungry so let’s get eating! (Except I gotta kinda make the recipe first….so…let’s get cooking!)
