Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Beef stroganoff is a delicious classic dish that combines juicy strips of beef with garlic, onion and mushroom, along with a sour cream and mustard spiked sauce. It’s really simple to prepare and goes with rice, egg noodles or mashed potatoes equally well. The following recipe uses noodles.

Although it’s simple enough to prepare for one of those hectic weeknights we all seem to have, it’s also special enough for a weekend meal or even if you have some company coming over. You can serve beef stroganoff with any kind of pasta, although Amish egg noddles (which are thick and wide) are especially apt.

It’s a good idea to keep some of the pasta cooking water because it’s useful to thin out the sauce, especially if you have leftovers which do thicken up in the refrigerator. Cremini mushrooms are a heartier choice but button mushrooms work here if that’s all you can find.
