With tender chunks of beef and mushrooms, mixed in a thick, creamy sauce, this Beef Stroganoff is the ultimate comfort dinner!
Did you know that Food Network dubbed Beef Stroganoff as the ultimate comfort food? Well, I happen to agree with them. Nothing says “home” quite like a warm plate of this stuff. In fact, this was my most requested mom-created meal growing up.
Usually when I want to create a meal, I’ll find a recipe that I like and have at it. I might even change a couple of ingredients just to tweak it to my liking. Not this time. This time I went out on a limb and decided to make the entire thing from scratch, out of my own brain muscles. You know, brain muscles… The muscles in your brain that make creation possible? No? Whatev. They are real.
My brain muscles came up with this wonderful recipe, and it’s AWESOME. I really am so proud. Not very often have I just thought up a recipe and ended up licking the plate after eating it. No joke.
Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 16 oz egg noodles
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil

- 1 lb stew beef
- 1 tsp onion salt
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups milk
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
-
Cook your egg noodles according to package directions. While they are cooking, begin the stroganoff recipe below.
-
Heat up your olive oil in a large skillet. Add your onion and garlic. Sauté for about a minute.
-
Season your beef chunks with the onion salt, salt, and pepper. Add the seasoned beef to the onions and garlic.

This does look like the word “comfort”. I’m not sure, though if I agree about it being the ultimate comfort food. I think homemade mac’n cheese. It’s all in a person’s preference. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
We may have met by chance…but we become friends by choice.

I, too, love Stroganoff. It’s best with egg noodles, in my opinion. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your recipe. Comfort food all the way.
