Beef stroganoff is a total weakness of mine! I reach for steak because when doesn’t steak make everything better? This is a classic recipe with sour cream, beef, and sherry and is homemade without any “cream of” soups, either.

Beef Stroganoff FAQ

What’s the best cut of steak for stroganoff?

Generally, I reach for a quality steak like a flat iron or a ribeye. Any higher quality steak that you’d generally serve as a grilled or pan-fried steak would work.

My favorite steaks for beef stroganoff are:

• Flat Iron
• Ribeye
• Sirloin
• Tenderloin

How long do leftovers keep in the fridge?

Store your leftover stroganoff in the fridge for up to three days. If you don’t think you will eat your leftovers in time, then just freeze what you won’t eat.

What I like to do is meal prep for a few days. I put some of the stroganoffs in single-serving-sized plastic containers and toss in the fridge. Then for quick lunches during my busy day, I can reheat and eat a savory meal.

What are the best sides to serve with stroganoff?

Can this recipe be frozen?

You can freeze beef stroganoff, just make sure when you go to reheat that you don’t overcook the steak or it can make it a bit tough.

Freeze in an airtight container and for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge the night before, and then warm up on the stove or microwave.

What kinds of pasta can you use with beef stroganoff?

Egg noodles are always what I recommend. Tender noodles that are made to soak up the sauce, so they offer incredible flavor in each bite.

Make sure to salt the water well or your end result will end up much less flavorful than you’d like!

If you are not a fan of egg noodles or if you need a gluten-free option, you can sub in any variety you’d like and it will still be delicious.
