Open in Pepper →Beef And Noodles That Never Fails
Stroganoff is the dinner you can make with one pound of beef, a carton of sour cream, and a bag of egg noodles. It stretches, it reheats, and nobody at the table asks what it is.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights when the fridge is thin and everybody's hungry at once — after practice, before homework, when payday is still three days out.
Every recipe here is a real version of the same comfort: the classic Beef Stroganoff with tenderloin, One Pot BUDGET Beef Stroganoff, Ground Beef Stroganoff for a quick skillet, Cheesy Baked Beef Stroganoff for the oven, and Crockpot Beef Stroganoff with stew meat when you want it waiting on you.
Quick Tips
- 1
Brown the beef first
Sear the meat in a hot skillet 3 to 4 minutes without stirring so it takes on color. Those browned bits are the whole flavor of the sauce.
- 2
Cook mushrooms until dry
Give sliced mushrooms 6 to 8 minutes alone in the pan until the liquid cooks off and they start to brown, then add the onion.
- 3
Add sour cream off heat
Pull the pan off the burner and stir in the sour cream at the end. Boiling it will make the sauce break and look grainy.
- 4
Undercook the noodles slightly
Drain egg noodles about 1 minute early. They finish in the sauce and won't turn mushy on the second plate.
