Recipe Tips

  • If you're not a fan of beef, then you can substitute it with something else like chicken. Popular stroganoff variations in Brazil often feature chicken breasts.
  • Make sure the pan is hot when you add the beef; otherwise, you will stew the beef instead of searing it.
  • As I mentioned above, since we’re not cooking the beef for a long time, try to get tender cuts of beef such as tenderloin or scotch fillet. However, if money is running low, then blade steak will be fine.
  • If you don’t have any sour cream, then this can be substituted for something like Greek yogurt. However, expect the flavor to be slightly different.
  • You can also make delicious beef stroganoff in the slow cooker. Of course, it will take a lot longer, but you can get it cooking before you head to work.
