Dutch oven cooking

This is a classic recipe to slow-cook in a cast iron pan. Dutch oven beef recipes always include beef stroganoff. Cast iron cooking is my favorite way to prepare this meal when I have extra time.

What the stroganoff sauce is made of

The stroganoff sauce is made of homemade mushroom soup. Using fresh mushrooms, milk (vegan option is available and a thickener like arrowroot or cornstarch. Once the mushroom sauce is made, the beef stroganoff is ready to incorporate the soup into a meal. Adding yogurt or sour cream is traditional either mixed in the soup or dolloped on top of the dish.

What cut of beef is best for beef stroganoff?

Top round beef that is sliced very thinly best for beef stroganoff. The key is to have the meat sliced as thin as possible like for fajitas or stir fry. Partially frozen meat will cut much easier than non-frozen meat.

What do you serve with beef stroganoff?

Egg noodles go best with the classic beef stroganoff, but rice and mashed potatoes will also blend well with this meal. Don’t forget about buttermilk biscuits and buttermilk rolls! A good green vegetable such as fresh steamed broccoli or asparagus goes well with this dish.

Homemade Flaky Biscuits From Scratch for Two and Easy Buttermilk Wheat Bread Machine Rolls are my two homemade bread recipes that I highly recommend trying with this meal.

Substitutions for sour cream in the beef stroganoff?

Any yogurt, especially Greek yogurt works very well as a substitution for swapping out the sour cream in this recipe.

Serving beef stroganoff

Release the steam on the Instant Pot
Open the lid slowly
Allow the steam to settle
Remove the lid from the glass container
Sir the sauce very well
Serve over egg noodles, rice, etc.
Sour cream can be dolloped on each dinner

We do not add the sour cream to the soup when cooking as we reheat this several times for meals and do not want to heat the sour cream over and over. If this were for one meal only, then we would add approximately ½ cup of sour cream to the mushroom sauce, stir well, just before serving.
