    Creamy Beef Stroganoff

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Serve with cooked egg noodles or rice- it's a delicious addition to both! This simple stroganoff recipe is made from scratch and is super easy to make too!

    From juicy and soft pieces of meat to the nicely browned mushrooms and creamy sauce, this comforting meal is delicious and heartwarming.

    We love frugal comfort meals around here and almost any dish that includes egg noodles or rice is a huge hit with the kids. Getting them to eat mushrooms is no easy task, but "hide" them in a sauce, and plates practically get licked clean.

    This beef stroganoff recipe is really simple and it's made from scratch without cream of mushrooms or cream cheese. It starts with a unique marinade for the beef, which helps add flavor and tenderizes the meat. That marinade is then used in the sauce so that there's no waste.

    I love serving homemade stroganoff over egg noodles but beef stroganoff with rice is always popular too. Which way do you serve beef and mushroom stroganoff? With noodles or rice?

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    I like this simple beef stroganoff just the way it is. But a good thing to note is that after the meat has been marinated, it takes a few minutes to cook out the excess liquid in it before the meat begins to brown.

    This is fine because the juice that comes out of the meat as it's sizzling will darken and stick to the bottom of the pan a bit. When you add in the other liquids, you'll deglaze the pan by whisking everything around and that's where a lot of the delicious flavors can blend together.

    It's pretty fun watching it go from start to finish in your skillet because at first, you think there's simply no way this is working right, but then it ends up getting to that familiar point and you think it's looking good and you're a master chef all of a sudden. haha. Of course, maybe that's just my own mindless thoughts every time I make this dish.

    💭 FAQs

    What beef cut should I use?

    I have used beef stew cuts, thinly sliced flank steak, or even regular steaks that were sliced thinly. Any thin cut of beef can work nicely. Just remember you want to be able to chew it and the smaller it is the more the marinade helps.

    How can I thicken my stroganoff sauce?

    This sauce thickens as it finishes cooking and cooling, but if you want it even thicker, you can achieve this by adding a small cornstarch slurry at the end.

    🔪 Instructions

    Check out how to make creamy beef stroganoff with these simple step-by-step instructions:

    Pour the marinade and the meat into a Zipper topped bag or in a plastic wrap covered large glass bowl. Let rest (in the fridge) for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Reserve marinade after.

    Remove the meat and then cook for 2-5 minutes per side until it's been cooked through and the sides have browned.

    Remove the meat and place it on a clean plate to the side.

    Add your mushrooms and onions to the skillet and cook until soft and caramelized looking. This should take about 5-10minutes.

    Stir in the flour and combine.
