11 Reviews of Beef Stroganoff

by Caryn

From: Donna Matthews

On Feb 26, 2005

The quantities in this recipe are very flexible. I used a pound of boneless beef chuck roast that I had cut into chunks for stewing, so it took more seasoned flour to cover it. I also had a LOT of fresh mushrooms to use up (almost a pound), so I pretty much doubled all the rest of the ingredients. I also used the tomato paste because I keep a small opened can of it in my freezer (in zip-top freezer bag so I can cut out small quantities when I need them)I cooked it ahead,through the step of adding the beef and vegetables back into the gravy. It could have been frozen at this point. Several days later, I was able to just reheat, add the sour cream and wine, and cook the noodles. Steamed broccoli went nicely with it both from a taste and presentation point of view. My meat was a bit tough (what can you expect from budget beef cuts); the sauce was marvelous. I was glad I had doubled it so there was lots to cover the noodles.

    This was delicious. I used rump steak as that is all I had, browned it in the frying pan with onions and fresh mushrooms. I didn't have any beef stock so I used beef gravy mix (Bisto) and boiling water instead of the extra butter and flour and stock. I just sprinkled the dry gravy mix over the meat mixture, combined well and then poured on some boiling water. I don't use alcohol so I added some balsamic vinegar and I used ketchup instead of the tomato paste like you suggested in the intro. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly. It was quick, easy and most delicious! I know I will make this again! Thanks!

    Very quick and easy. Was a little rich for us. I think next time we won't cook the meat in butter, maybe some veg oil, and try lite sour cream. Very tasty though, we'll make it again!!!

    We have nearly the same recipe, also from a Better Homes & Gardens cookbook, except our version uses fresh mushrooms and sherry instead of white wine. It is my husband's favourite meal. True comfort food!

    Silky , smooth and velvety sauce poured over buttery egg noodles and served with a salad along side ! This was perfect on a cool fall day !!! I used the ketchup (out of tomato paste) and the sauce was the best we have had in a long time ! Thank You for sharing your recipe Caryn !

    Delicious! I did everything to a T like the recipe but omitted the tomato paste. I didn't want any tomato flavor in the dish. Our lunch room loved it! (We cook for about 12 managers/executives here at work.)

    The recipe calls for 1 (1 oz.) can of condensed beef broth. Could this be correct?
