Stroganoff is a dish where the central ingredient, typically strips of beef, is cooked in a sauce containing sour cream.

What is the best cut of beef for stroganoff?

For this recipe, we opted to use beef stew meat, but you can also use top sirloin, boneless ribeye steak, or beef tenderloin.

You can use any mushrooms you like! My favorite mushrooms to use are baby Bella.

To make beef stroganoff on the stovetop, follow the recipe through step 4, cooking in a Dutch oven instead of a skillet. Add the remaining ingredients to the Dutch oven and simmer for 15-30 minutes, until the beef is cooked through. Then, add the cornstarch, thicken for 5 minutes, and add the sour cream and cream cheese. Serve over the cooked noodles.
