    Beef Stroganoff is a Hearty One Pot Meal in Under 30 Minutes

    Beef Stroganoff is a simple dish of beef strips cooked in a creamy mushroom sauce.

    Beef Stroganoff is an easy hearty one pot meal that cooks up in about 30 minutes.

    We grew up on this dish. It was one of my Dad's favorites and was what he usually asked for when he and Mom bet on the Super Bowl or World Series. She would ask for different things if she won, but for Dad it was all about the Stroganoff

    I didn't realize it was so easy to make because Mom always made it and I never bothered to make it for my mushroom and sour cream hating family.

    Just slice the steak, mushrooms and onions, cook 'em up with the broth and sherry, then stir in the sour cream. Really, it is that easy.

    Beef Stroganoff Variations

    You can make this with ground beef or turkey instead of the beef strips.

    Mom always made itย with ground beef growing up. Probably both for budget reasons as well as ease of preparation.

    My brother and I will both testify it is so much better with beef strips and it is all either of us will use now.

    What to Serve with Beef Stroganoff

    We usually had it with rice or egg noodles.

    You could also chose some kind of potatoes such as mashed or roasted or even baked.

    For low carb options go for some cauliflower rice or roasted cauliflower steaks, zoodles or other spriralized vegetables, braised cabbage, etc.

      Yum!! Love the idea of a recipe in honor of the Olympics. My grandma used to make Beef Stroganoff all the time and it was my favorite. This ones looks good, especially the mushrooms - my grandma's recipe didn't have those in it.

      This looks awesome! I made beef stroganoff once when I was a teenager but haven't made it since. I think I should do this soon! Sounds warm and comforting for a winter night.

      Wonderful looking recipe.
      Now I have never tried a stroganoff recipe with turkey, that is interesting. And actually have always used ground beef, but will have to try with beef strips.
