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.
You can make this with ground beef or turkey. Ma'am always made it with ground beef growing up. My brother and I will both testify it is so much better with beef strips and it is all either of us will use. But if you only have ground beef, go for it.
Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter (optional)
- 1 pound well trimmed bite-sized strips tender beef
- 3 cups fresh mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 green onions (sliced)
- ¼ teaspoon powdered thyme
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
- ¾ cups dry cocktail sherry (optional, can substitute additional broth instead)
- ¾ cups consumme or beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Instructions
- Melt butter, if using, in very hot skillet. Brown meat in skillet with mushrooms and onion. If using ground beef or turkey beef sure to stir with a fork to break up meat. Add thyme, salt and pepper.
- Reduce burner heat to medium. Add sherry, or half of broth/consommé, and cook down until liquid is reduced to about ¼ cup. Add consommé/broth and heat to just boiling.
- Mix cornstarch with water (stir with a fork until there are no lumps) and pour all at once into mixture in skillet. Stir constantly until liquid has thickened.
- Stir in sour cream or yogurt just before serving. Serve over rice or egg noodles.
Until next time, happy eating.

My husband is from Russia and somehow I don't think I have ever had beef stroganoff! I will have to try it out sometime.

I am bookmarking this post so I can make this for my fiance. He loves hearty meals like this. Usually, I've had it where it was ground beef, which I hate, but I think this sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, I love beef stroganoff! I use to make the hamburger helper box all the time when I was in college but it is soooooo unhealthy! This looks like a way better recipe, I am going to have to try this one out 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

This is one of my favorite meals. But, my daughter is allergic to dairy. So it's been SO long since I've been able to enjoy it 🙁

I really like beef stroganoff and with the mushrooms but my brother always wanted no mushrooms in his. It's a real hearty meal that fills you up properly. Thanks for recipe! Coping with the big C - The Sits Comment Love Challenge

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.

This is one of the first meals I learned to cook, probably around the age of 12. I made it at a friend's house from an old Betty Crocker cookbook. Yum!

A Winter Olympic theme! Genius! I often make beef stroganoff (sometimes with ground beef too) but this recipe looks awesome. Thanks!

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.
Thanks for sharing.

Looks so yum! I have to save this one up and cook it for my husband when we finally get to be together again.
