Ingredients
Instructions
- In butter, brown the thinly sliced strip steak.
- Add diced onion, canned mushrooms, and garlic.
- Stir in flour to thicken the mixture.
- Add water to achieve desired thickness and bring to a boil.
- Adjust water for preferred consistency, then remove from heat.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of beef broth and water instead of just water. If you don’t have strip steak, sirloin or ribeye also work well. For a vegetarian twist, you can substitute the beef with sliced mushrooms and use vegetable broth instead. Adding a splash of white wine can enhance the overall taste too.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this beef stroganoff over egg noodles for a classic pairing. It also goes well with mashed potatoes or rice for a comforting meal. A side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad can add a nice crunch to the meal. Consider serving with a dollop of Honey-Orange Sauce(Dressing) for a zesty contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce. Stir frequently until heated through, ensuring the sour cream doesn’t curdle. You can also microwave in short bursts, stirring in between.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Absolutely! While strip steak is traditional, you can use chicken breast or even pork tenderloin as alternatives. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as chicken and pork may require less time to cook through compared to beef.
How can I make this dish gluten-free?
To make a gluten-free version of beef stroganoff, simply substitute the flour with a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch for thickening. Ensure that your beef broth is also gluten-free. Serve it over gluten-free pasta or rice for a complete meal.
What can I do if the sauce is too thick?
If your stroganoff sauce turns out too thick, gradually add more water or beef broth to reach your desired consistency. Be sure to stir continuously to incorporate the liquid evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, especially if you added extra liquid.
