Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Jump to Recipe This Easy Beef Stroganoff recipe is a family favorite that is often requested, and thoroughly enjoyed when it’s what’s for dinner. Even better, my sometimes finicky kitchen helpers love to help with making this dish all the way through from start to finish! We’ve included mushrooms in this version (because I’m outvoted 3-to-1 on their inclusion), but if you’re like me and can’t stand the texture go right on ahead and omit them as I wish I could… Quick and delicious, our easy beef stroganoff is a family pleasing meal ready in 20 minutes! To Make Our Easy Beef Stroganoff… Start out with the all-purpose flour, beef (sliced or cubed), vegetable oil, beef bullion cubes, water, sour cream, Worcestershire, mushrooms and pasta (I usually use egg noodles). I use onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper for seasoning. Start by coating the sliced or cubed beef in the flour by placing it in a bowl of the flour, then roll it through until fairly well covered. The beef does not need to be perfectly covered (evenly or thoroughly). While prepping the meat bring a large skillet to medium high heat. Once I have done this, I add oil to my large skillet and place the flour-coated beef portions in the heated oil. To make this easy Beef Stroganoff start with these ingredients - egg noodles, thin strips of beef, flour, sour cream, beef bullion cubes, water, Worcestershire sauce, mushrooms, and seasoning. Add seasoning: salt, pepper, onion powder and paprika and continue to cook the meat for about 1-2 minutes. During this time, add bullion cubes to a measuring cup of water and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes, stir, and heat again for another minute. Once the meat is starting to leave some juices in the pan, add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until the meat portions are medium rare with a pretty good sear on all sides. Do not worry about some of the ‘gunk’ left in the pan, this is called fond and we want it for our excellent gravy! Add the heated beef broth to the cooked meat and mushrooms, stir, then add Worcestershire sauce. Bring the skillet contents to a rapid boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 8-10 minutes. Your beef broth should thicken as it simmers, and will continue to thicken once removed from heat. After the 10 minutes of simmering, remove from heat and add sour cream. Stir in the sour cream until evenly distributed through the gravy. During the simmering period, make sure your noodles are cooked, drained and rinsed. Typically, I return my noodles to the same pot that I used for boiling them in and will add my meat and gravy directly to the noodles. You can also serve by portioning out your noodles onto plates and then topping them with the Beef Stroganoff. Butter your egg noodles, if desired, for an even more decadently delicious meal and garnish with (optional) parsley! Enjoy! *If your sauce is too thin after adding the sour cream, remove from burner completely and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.**We like our stroganoff with a strong Worcestershire sauce flavor, however, when making this recipe for the first time you can start with less and add more after combining the sour cream as needed.***Different brands of Worcestershire sauce will yield different flavor results (ie. Heinz is sweeter than Lea & Perrins. Lea & Perrins is also stronger flavored, so start with less. ~ A big ’thank you!’ to my stepmom Diane that was the first person who made this dish for me, and shared this recipe many (many!) years ago that I now have memorized as a family staple meal!!
