What Sides Go With Beef Stroganoff?

There are lots of great sides to make this a complete meal. Since it’s a pretty meat and pasta-heavy dish, I would suggest adding some vegetables to your meal. I always enjoy mixing them in with everything, but you can just serve them on the side.

• Peas
• Caesar salad
• Green Beans
• Brocolli
• Cauliflower
• Carrots
• Side salad

I think this meal is always delicious with a side of garlic bread or french bread as well.

What is the best meat to use with beef stroganoff?

There are all sorts of ways to make beef stroganoff. This recipe is made with ground beef, just because we almost always have ground beef on hand, and it’s often less expensive than other cuts of meat.

Tender cuts of beef are often preferred – so you may want to consider beef tenderloin or sirloin steak cut into strips.

When was beef stroganoff invented?

Beef stroganoff was originally a Russian dish from the Mid-19th century. It was named after the influential Stroganov family.

Although it was a Russian dish, it’s thought to have been created by French chefs that had been working for the Stroganov family. The first time it was printed in a cookbook was in 1871 called, “A Gift to Young Housewives”.

It’s taken on many forms and variations over the years, but it’s certainly a well-loved dish that has become a traditional comfort dish all around the world.

How to thicken beef stroganoff?

If you find that the dish isn’t thick enough, I would suggest mixing together some 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and whisking it into the stroganoff while it’s simmering.

Can I cook egg noodles in the Instant Pot?

You absolutely can! We have used egg noodles in this recipe many times.

Can I use other noodles?

Sure, the cooking time may vary a little bit. We have had good success using rotini noodles before.

Can I use a different kind of meat?

As I mentioned before, we use ground beef in this recipe, but you can certainly use other cuts of beef or even chicken.

How should I store the leftovers?

Make sure to store in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge.

How should I reheat beef stroganoff?

This dish is almost better the next day! You can reheat it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Can beef stroganoff be frozen?

Yes, you can, but I would suggest cooking the noodles fresh and just freezing the sauce and meat.

What kind of mushrooms should I use?

We always just buy whatever sliced variety is on sale at the store, which is usually baby bella. Cremini mushrooms are always nice!

Should there be Worcestershire sauce in this recipe?

Worcestershire sauce is a common ingredient in beef stroganoff, especially when you make the sauce from scratch. Because of the french onion soup that we use, we opted not to include Worcestershire sauce in this recipe.

We don’t recommend this ingredient in this recipe.

Can I use something other than ground beef?

You absolutely can. Ground chicken, ground turkey, or stew meat can be a great option for this recipe.

This is always frustrating. You most likely got this notice because you didn’t scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the pot before. youput the lid on.

This is one of my favorite parts, but I know some people can’t stand them! So if you’re one of those people, yes, you can skip them.

Can beef stroganoff be made without sour cream?

I would strongly recommend using some kind of creamy mixture like sour cream. Greek yogurt is a good alternative.

Can you freeze beef stroganoff without noodles?

Yes.

Can this be made in a slow cooker?

Yes. I would brown the meat beforehand and cook with all the ingredients except for the noodles on low for about four hours. Add the egg noodles for the last 30 minutes or so.
