Recipe: One-Pot Weeknight Beef Stroganoff (2024)

FAQs

What cut of meat should I use for beef stroganoff? ›

Traditionally, tenderloin is the meat of choice for Stroganoff, and after testing out a few alternatives—strip steak and ribeye along with more inexpensive cuts like flap meat, hanger, flank, and skirt—I decided to stick with tradition (flap meat and hanger came in a close second).

Greek yogurt is a healthy alternative to the traditionally used sour cream in beef stroganoff recipes, so you can be confident that your family is getting a satisfying, healthy meal. Fresh dill and paprika will provide a sweet, slightly smoky garnish to top off the dish.

Bread: Garlic Bread, Dinner Rolls, French Bread, Rye Bread, Baguettes. Vegetable: Sautéed Spinach, Garlic Butter Green Beans With Bacon, Steamed Cauliflower, Braised Cabbage. Rice: Wild Rice, Quinoa, Basmati Rice, Jasmine Rice, Parmesan Risotto. Salad: Russian Salad, Broccoli Salad, Shaved Fennel Salad.

I'm not big on mushrooms and the like, so my usual goto of spicing it up is to add the meat, then garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, pinch of paprika(sometimes none), small amount of cavenders, and occasionally, if Im in a sweet mood, brown sugar.

Solution: Choose beef tenderloin for superior texture. Sauté button mushrooms, then brown the beef in the same pan and deglaze the pan with beef broth. For more complexity, prepare a sauce with onion, tomato paste, brown sugar, chicken broth, and wine. Sour cream can curdle if added directly to hot liquid.

Beef Stroganoff is a popular Russian dish of small pieces of beef fillet sautéed in sour cream sauce together with onions and mushrooms. The dish was named after Count Alexander Grigorievich Stroganoff, who lived in the late 19th century in Odessa.

Keep Stroganoff Sauce from Curdling

Temper the sour cream by adding a few teaspoons of the hot liquid from the pan—one tablespoon at a time—before adding the sour cream to the pan. Turn the stovetop down to low before adding the sour cream and give it a few minutes for the temperature in the pan to actually lower.

Mayonnaise. Here's an ingredient you probably have on hand: mayonnaise! You can use it as a cup-for-cup replacement for sour cream in most recipes—including baked goods! (Mayo adds a ton of moisture to things like cakes and muffins because it's made from eggs and oil.)

Sauce Ingredients: Butter, onion, garlic, white wine, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, flour and plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream) are the ingredients used to make classic beef stroganoff sauce. If you prefer not to cook with wine, feel free to just add in a little extra beef stock instead.

This healthy side dish adds a colorful and nutritious side item for beef stroganoff. Carrots, potatoes and sweet potatoes are seasoned with onion and garlic before being roasted with a drizzle of olive oil. This easy side dish is a tasty complement to a beef dish.

And if you want to make it spicy, you can either use the Mexican flavors (ancho & poblano peppers), or use horseradish. To use so many different things together seems like a “kitchen sink” approach. I would cut down the horseradish to about 2/3 of the original amount.

Temper the cream first. Add a liitle bit of tomato sauce at a time to the cream until it is warm and then add it all back into the tomato sauce. This will keep it from curdling.

Yes, if you prefer not to use milk or non-dairy milk, there are alternative options available. You can try using vegetable or chicken broth, which will add flavor and liquid to the recipe.

“What people consider the quote-on-quote best steaks are the middle meats,” says Flannery. “Those are steaks from the midsection of the animal, between the rib and the rump.” These cuts—ribeye, New York strip loin, and filet mignon—can certainly be dubbed the best, and few will disagree.

RIB - Grill, Broil Rib Eye, Prime Rib The rib is a very tender cut whose marbling is well-suited for cooking in a hot dry heat.

There are 8 main primal cuts of beef: chuck, rib, loin (consisting of the short loin and the sirloin), round, flank, plate, brisket, and shank. Divided by groups of muscles, the meat from each primal has its own unique flavor, texture, and level of fat and marbling due to how hard the muscles were worked.

Topside, silverside and top rump

These three prime cuts are all fantastic for roasting, as they are very tender and can be carved into large lean slices.
