How to Make Beef Stroganoff Recipe 

I learned how to make a beef stroganoff recipe many years ago. When I did, I also learned that this was originally a Russian recipe. Since the creation, it has become a popular dish in many other parts of the world. Even here in the United States, there are many different versions of the recipe.


True beef stroganoffs have one common ingredient in them, besides the beef, and that is sour cream. Here in the United States, I know these recipes to be called by different names. Some call this dish simply ground beef and noodles or beef and noodles. Many cooks, like me, will add sour cream to recipes which do not really need it. I love sour cream and I feel it changes some ‘tiring” recipes into special ones giving it a delicious flavor.


As I have mentioned so many times, sour cream is one of my favorite ingredients to use in entrées, soups, appetizers and desserts. When you learn how to make a beef stroganoff recipe, you will love the rich delicious sauce. This sauce is mainly due to the addition of sour cream and is so tasty when serving over noodles. (It is good over cooked rice also). 


Sometimes you will find newer versions of the beef stroganoff recipe. In some of these, they will instruct you to replace the sour cream with yogurt. Although I do use yogurt in a lot of my cooking, I do not feel it gives the same rich flavor in beef stroganoff like sour cream.
