Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut meat across the grain into 1/2-inch strips, about 1 1/2 inches long.
- Melt margarine in a large skillet.
- Add sliced mushrooms and minced onion, cook until tender.
- Remove mushroom and onion mixture from the skillet.
- Brown the sirloin steak strips in the same skillet.
- Return the mushroom and onion mixture to the skillet with the beef.
- Add condensed beef broth, ketchup, minced garlic, and salt.
- Stir in flour or cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
- Simmer until the sauce is thickened and flavors meld.
- Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
- Serve hot over cooked noodles.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of beef broth and red wine. If you don't have sour cream, Greek yogurt makes a good substitute. Ensure not to overcrowd the skillet when browning the beef for a nice sear. If you like a thicker sauce, use an extra tablespoon of flour or cornstarch. This dish also works well with different cuts of beef, but sirloin is preferred.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Beef Stroganoff over wide egg noodles or rice for a comforting meal. It pairs beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad. For a heartier option, consider serving it alongside mashed potatoes. This dish is perfect for a family dinner and is sure to be a hit with adults and kids alike.

Leftover Beef Stroganoff can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
