Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the beef into small strips, freezing slightly if needed for easier slicing.
- Sprinkle the meat with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Brown the seasoned meat in a heavy skillet with shortening or oil.
- Stir in the mushroom soup and 1 cup of beef broth, then cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the meat is tender.
- Add chopped onions and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the sauce while it simmers. If you're out of beef broth, vegetable broth works as a great substitute. You can also swap the sour cream for Greek yogurt for a healthier twist. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a bit more flour or cornstarch mixed with water towards the end of cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef stroganoff over a bed of rice or alongside roasted potatoes for a hearty meal. A fresh green salad or steamed vegetables make excellent sides to balance the richness of the dish. This recipe pairs beautifully with **Microwave Irish Stew** for a comforting dinner spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of beef broth to loosen it up. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Absolutely! While boneless beef round is commonly used, other cuts like sirloin or tenderloin can provide more tenderness. Just remember that cooking times may vary depending on the cut you choose, so adjust accordingly.
What can I use instead of mushroom soup?
If you prefer not to use canned mushroom soup, you can make a homemade version by sautéing fresh mushrooms with butter and onions, then adding beef broth and cream to create a similar base. This will enhance the freshness of the dish.
Is it possible to make this dish in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the stroganoff a day ahead. Just follow the instructions, let it cool, and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, gently reheat it on the stove, adding a little beef broth to maintain creaminess.
