Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe
Truth - no one knows "authentic" or "traditional" Beef Stroganoff.
The very original recipe that was created in the late 18th century - was long lost and the only version which is the closest to the original was introduced by William Pokhlyobkin - expert on the history of Russian cuisine.
Now, that we have this little nuance out of the way, let me introduce you to my version of this classic Russian dish - Beef Stroganoff a la Iryna.
Is it authentic? - No?
Does it have all features to be called Beef Stroganoff? - Absolutely!
Is it delicious? - well, if a perfectly seared beef smothered in a creamy sour cream-tomato sauce doesn't entice you, I don't know what does. My easy Beef Stroganoff is amazingly delicious recipe that cooks fast and disappears just as fast.
Where did Beef Stroganoff originate?
Beef Stroganoff is a simple dish originated in Russia in the late 18th century. There are several versions of who invented this recipe. However the most popular theory states that Beef Stroganoff was first created by a French chef Andre Dupont who was working for Alexander Stroganoff - Russian Minister of the interior at that time.
Although, no one knows the exact recipe, there are a few main components to it:
- sautéed onion;
- beef tenderloin, that is lightly pounded, dredged in flour and then quickly seared for 2-3 on each side;
- the sauce made of sour cream and tomato paste gets added into the pan with beef and onion and all these ingredients cook together until beef is cooked through and delicious.

Can you reheat beef stroganoff?
Store Beef Stroganoff in the airtight containers (I like these glass containers) in a fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, transfer it to a pan, add a few tablespoons of any broth, bring to a low boil and then simmer on a low heat for 3-5 minutes.
...a few more tips fop the Best Beef Stroganoff
- if you don't have sour cream, you can use Crème Fraîche or heavy cream. In this case, Beef Stroganoff sauce won't be as thick, which is fine. But if you want your sauce to look more like mine on the photos, mix ½ tablespoon of flour into the mixture of cream and tomato paste.
- you can also substitute tomato sauce for tomato paste. In this case, I recommend sticking to 1:1 ratio meaning you mix 1 c of sour cream with 1 c tomato sauce.
- if you have mushrooms, feel free to add them to a recipe by sautéing them along with the onion.
- if you Stroganoff sauce comes out too thick, dilute it with ¼-1/2 cup of any broth.
What to serve with Beef Stroganoff?
I recommend serving Beef Stroganoff with spaghetti, french fries ormashed potatoes and easy and refreshing salad that compliments beef, such as:
- cauliflower and cucumber salad
- beets and arugula salad

If you're looking to buy new non-stick pan, I highly recommend Ceramic Non-Stick Covered Saute Pan.I've been using it myself for some time now and I absolutely adore this pan. Aside from the fact that food doesn't stick and the pan is light-weight, I think you'll appreciate the fact that it's safe and doesn't contain any toxic chemicals that's often the case with non-stick Teflon pans. See it on Amazon.
