Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Make sure to create a slurry with the flour and broth so these ingredients blend in with the meat mixture in the skillet without forming lumps. Bringing everything to a boil thickens the contents, and cooking the skillet dish for a minute or two removes any raw flour taste.
  • tip 2
    Worcestershire sauce is a liquid condiment that enhances meat-based dishes and beverages with a rich, savory flavor. It's made using garlic, soy sauce, onion, molasses, anchovies and vinegar.
  • tip 3
    Partially freezing the sirloin steak before cutting makes the beef much easier to slice into strips. Your steak strips will cook quickly—they just need a short simmer.
  • tip 4
    Sautéing the garlic and onion first helps to define the taste of these aromatics, making them less pungent and allowing them to develop a natural sweetness that adds to the flavor of this Classic Beef Stroganoff.
  • tip 5
    To switch up the flavor of the creamy sauce, you can try substituting shiitake mushrooms for the white button mushrooms. Make sure to remove the shiitake stems and slice them.

More About This Recipe

  • Once upon a time, there really was a guy named “Stroganoff” (in the Anglicized version), which is the reason for the name of the delicious beef and pasta dish we’re still enjoying today. Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov, a 19th century Russian aristocrat, loved good food and hired a famous French chef to prepare his meals. Many food historians think it was Stroganov’s cook, André Dupont, who had the idea to name his special beef fricassee for his employer—and with that, beef stroganoff was born. Your family may want to rename this dish after you after just a few bites of the hearty, creamy goodness of this top-rated Betty Crocker recipe. While this beef stroganoff recipe is the classic preparation usually associated with the dish, there are all kinds of fun new twists and streamlined time-savers to be found in Betty’s best beef stroganoff recipes, including Slow-Cooker Beef Stroganoff and One-Pot Beef Stroganoff.
