Beef – I prefer to use steak in this recipe when possible, it’s tender and has great flavor. Sirloin steak, ribeyes, or beef tenderloin are the best cuts for beef stroganoff. Regardless of which cut of beef you choose, be sure it doesn’t overcook!

Short on time? Use frozen or homemade meatballs or ground beef.
Onions & Mushrooms – Onions and mushrooms not only add amazing flavor to this dish, but they also help stretch the beef a bit further! Use either white or cremini mushrooms. You can add other veggies to this beef stroganoff recipe. Try zucchini or even frozen peas.
Stroganoff Sauce – The sauce practically makes itself, it’s so easy. A mixture of broth and seasonings simmered and thickened before stirring in sour cream (or swap in Greek yogurt if you’d like).
