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

February 6, 2014 Filed Under: Main Courses with Meat

Beef Stroganoff is another Russian recipe in honor of the Winter Olympics in Soichi, Russia.

I am not sure how I missed this recipe when I made up my lists for Weeknight Dinners and Favorite Mushroom Recipes. It might have had something to do with the fact that the boys won’t eat sour cream or mushrooms.

But, it is absolutely delicious and it will probably take longer to cook the noodles or rice to serve with this than it will to prepare it. Dinner ready in less than 30 minutes equals happiness in my book.

We grew up on this dish. It was one of my Dad’s favorites and was what he usually asked for when he and Ma’am bet on the Super Bowl or World Series. I didn’t realize it was so easy to make. 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 is an hearty one pot meal that can be cooked up in less than 30 minutes for an easy weeknight meal.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons butter optional
  • 1 pound well trimmed bite-sized strips tender beef
  • 3 cups fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 3 green onions sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon powdered thyme
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cups dry cocktail sherry optional, can substitute additional broth instead
  • 3/4 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.

    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!

    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!

    We used to eat Beef Stroganof when I was a kid quite a bit. I had no idea it was a Russian dish.

    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.
