When it comes to comfort food, it doesn’t get much better than Beef Stroganoff, and it’s easy enough to make any night of the week.
During the winter months it’s hard to beat a home-cooked meal that fills the house with aromas to lift not only an appetite but a sagging spirit. Wintertime can be blah, boring and blue for so many. I find getting in the kitchen and cooking something familiar and regular can help bust that blahs up. Beef Stroganoff is just one of those meals. It smells fabulous when cooking, filling the house to the brim with a delightful aroma. Plus, this delicious dish is much easier to make than you may think.
As I mentioned, preparation for Beef Stroganoff is easy. A little bit of simple sautéing and browning is about as difficult as this recipe gets. First a basic stew is created with beef, mushrooms and onions, plus a cast of absolutely delectable seasonings. They are left to mingle together for a couple of hours, and then right before serving a bit of sour cream is whisked in to give the Stroganoff the creamy consistency that it is known for. Then it is time to eat!
Serve Beef Stroganoff over egg noodles, rice or mashed potatoes. Just make sure to make enough because there will be trips back for seconds. Even your pickiest of eaters will be pleased with this delicious dish!
Planning a meal for someone in need? Beef Stroganoff is not only the perfect dish for any night of the week, it is a great meal to prepare to share with someone who may need help with a meal. Deliver this dish along with a tossed salad, some egg noodles, rice or mashed potatoes, and green beans for a tasty well-rounded meal.

I used to have it quite often when I was a kid 🙂 really yummy dish!
This is perfect for those colder fall and winter evenings. Can’t wait to make it!!
Thanks for this delicious recipe! I can’t wait to try it 🙂 My Oven is broken, so I’d have to prepare it on the Stove-top…do you think that would work?
Thank you so much for this recipe! I am going to make it this weekend. Beautiful photography as well.
I totally agree with you! This is comfort food at it’s finest. Your recipe looks amazing 🙂
What can I do to add more of the sauce. My family loves everything drenched it gravy/sauce? TY in advance.
What do you mean beef broth is it like soup or just a stock cube with water? The recipe,sounds fabulous Thankyou for sharing.
It is like soup.
I’m allergic to horesradish. Any alternate suggestion? This recipe sounds divine!!
Nancy, I would try spicy mustard or wasabi paste.
Wondering how this would do in the crockpot? And, how long would it have to cook?
I’m not sure of the time, but long enough to allow the beef to get tender.
I fixed this for guests to rave reviews. It was delicious. Thank you.
That is fabulous, Chelly! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I have gone to your site several times and cannot get the recipes. I am a subscriber
Can you explain what the problem is?
We love stroganoff!…. well, I’ve an idea! Instead of beef, what about Pork? Pork has a great flavor, Why not? My hubby thought it would be good too. I’ll let you know … I can’t wait to try it!
What’s you thought on it?
Mid-summer but couldn’t resist trying this recipe. Awesome is all I can say!! Tried quite a few, this is the best I’ve tried. Thanks!
Love this recipe! Easy! Delishioso!
I have made it 3 times now, flavors work well together!
Thank you!
I was wondering if I needed to extend the time in the oven if I were to triple the recipe?
Thanks so much!
I would use the same cook time and check for tenderness at 2 1/2 hours, then cook longer if needed.
I’m trying with bottle vanilla porter beer and fresh garlic,,,,,,looking great.
Hi, Amy! I’m a new blogger, and I’m currently writing up a blog post of all of my go-to recipes and this is a recipe I’ve been making for about a year now and absolutely LOVE. Would you be okay with me featuring this link in my blog? 🙂
I have this in the oven right now and it smells amazing. It was quick and easy to put together. The only change I made was using 2 cloves minced garlic instead of powder.
Loved that I could throw it together, put it in the oven on time and let hubby fix his own noodles when he was ready to eat, simple to put together and smells wonderful. Looking forward to dinner tonight
Very good!
