Sirloin steak comes from the rear back of the cow that produces tender and flavorful cuts. They benefit from a short cooking time and have become the go-to choice for many grilling and quick stir-fry dishes.

Top sirloin, the star of today's recipe, is a lean beef cut with 12.5g of fats and 23.4g of protein per a typical 4-ounce cut. As we can see, it adds only a moderate amount of fat, with little saturated fat (5.07g), to your meals — in comparison to a 2,000-calorie diet that requires fewer than 14g of saturated fat per day.

Sauce for Beef Stroganoff

Our stroganoff sauce is a sour, creamy gravy made by cooking sautéed mushrooms in Worcestershire sauce, gravy mix, pepper, salt, mustard, garlic powder, chicken broth, sour cream, and heavy cream. The gravy is also thickened with flour so it glosses the juicy beef steak perfectly.

As beef stroganoff has traveled the world and entered many different cuisines, there are many variations of the sauce. Some recipes even have wine added to enhance the sauce with a more pronounced after-taste.

Regardless of the divergences, every stroganoff gravy has one feature in common: it's always flavored with humble ingredients to produce a rich, heart-warming infusion.

Tips for Cooking

Our recipe follows the style of cooking everything in batches successively so the ingredients meld together in harmony. This is how we enhance the rich and complex flavor of beef stroganoff.

1. How to Thicken Beef Stroganoff

To get the desired consistency for the stroganoff gravy, you can either whisk in a cornstarch slurry or add extra cream to it while whisking constantly on the heat.

  • Stir in a cornstarch slurry:

Mix all-purpose flour or cornstarch with liquid (beef broth or water), following the ratio of 1 part starch to 2 parts liquid. Simply add a tablespoon of it at a time while the gravy is simmering until it reaches your desired thickness.

Leaving the skillet uncovered while simmering also helps evaporate the liquid to make it less watery.

  • Add extra cream:

It can be sour cream, Greek yogurt, or lactose-free sour cream. But be careful, as this extra amount will also add up on the total calories and fat for your dish.

Tips for Cooking a Perfect Beef Stroganoff

2. Customize It to Your Taste

  • Use ground beef instead of steak.
  • White mushrooms are our favorite, but just about any type of mushrooms will work for this recipe.
  • Some of the best stir-frying veggies to use are asparagus, bell peppers, and broccoli, or any combination of such.
  • To give the stroganoff a bit of a kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes when finished.
  • Make it gluten-free: To make beef stroganoff gluten-free, swap gluten-free flour for all-purpose flour.

How to Store and Reheat Leftover

If you happen to have leftover beef stroganoff, it's good to know that it will keep well for 3-4 days in the fridge, making this dish meal-prep friendly for busy people.

Beef stroganoff will also freeze well. It will last for up to 3 months in the freezer and the mushroom gravy still won't separate or congeal.

From frozen, thaw the portions in the refrigerator overnight, then bake or microwave them covered the following day.
