Tips & Tricks

Cooking tips

For a perfect Stroganoff, make sure to cut mushrooms to ¼ of an inch thickness and no thinner. When sautéing onions, cook until just translucent. Burnt onions can ruin the taste of Stroganoff. On the other hand, don’t skip browning the beef until it develops a nice caramel hue. If making Stroganoff in a slow cooker, add the sour cream and mustards in the last half hour of cooking.

Storing Stroganoff

You can make bigger batches of this dish by doubling the ingredients and store the Stroganoff in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stroganoff is also a freezer-friendly dish that stores well for up to 3 months. Defrost it in the microwave, on the kitchen counter, or by reheating it in the pot.
