22 Reviews of Beef Stroganov (Stroganoff)

From: Texas Girl in California

On Oct 21, 2009

AWESOME! This is by far the best Stroganov recipe! I used yellow onions - they're sweeter. I also lightened it up a bit using light margarine and light sour cream. I also added 1/4 cup red wine. It was WONDERFUL. The sauce was a bit thin - I figured because I had added extra liquid so I put in some Wondra Sauce and Gravy powder and it thickened perfectly. Hubby was literally licking his plate! Thanks

    I'll just comment for future reference, as I think I ruined this recipe. I suspect the problem was that I tried to "lighten" this up (using less butter, and extra light sour cream), and maybe strog is just meant to be loaded with fat. The flavour was good, but the sauce was thin and watery (probably owing to the low fat content). I also found that the cooking times seemed a bit long, resulting in a somewhat tough texture. But thanks for posting it, anyway. Just not a recipe that I can use unmodified and still be able to button my jeans.

    I cut back on the mustard but otherwise followed the recipe and DD and DS begged me to make it again pronto! Thank you!

    I used beef granules instead of the salty bouillon cubes. Excellent!

    I used 8 oz button shrooms and threw a few portabellas in too. I used grain fed sirloin which still ended up a little tougher than I'd like. I also added a little flour at the end to thicken up the sauce a bit. Clean plates all around!

    Terrific, I made the following small adjustments: omitted beef boullion (didn't have any, just added normal table salt), made a roux with the remaining oil in the pan after cooking the beef, then added mustard and decided to add in oregano, basil and worchestershire, and deglazed with white wine. Then I tossed all the beef, mushrooms and onion. Then went on from there as usual. Great stuff.

    Peggy we loved this, it was extremely yummy. I had two little helpers in my kitchen 'helping' to cook. I don't know how helpful they were but we certainly had lots of fun. A great family friendly recipe that I served with mashed potatoes. A definite keeper for our family. YUM!

    A delicious interpretation of a classic recipe - thank you for posting it Pegz. Australian stroganoff recipes usually include a tablespoon or so of tomato paste, but this version is so comforting, sour-creamy, mushroomy and full flavoured, the tomato paste wasn't even missed until I revised the ingredients before writing this review. A real winner!
