Ingredients for Ground Beef Stroganoff
Beef stroganoff is a popular comfort food recipe that originated in Russia and now it’s loved pretty much all over.
It’s basically a meat and noodle dish with sour cream. So, what ingredients go in stroganoff?
- Beef
- Mushrooms
- Egg noodles
- Oil & butter
- Aromatics, like onion and garlic
- Seasonings like salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce
- Flour (to thicken)
- Beef broth/stock (for the sauce base)
- Sour cream (adds a lushness to the stroganoff and definitely a must, if you ask me)
Why Use Ground Beef?
Traditionally, stroganoff is made with a cut of beef (usually cubed), like sirloin or (for something extra special) beef tenderloin.
The benefit of making a ground beef stroganoff, though, is that it’s pretty budget friendly, cooks quickly and there’s absolutely no compromise in taste!
How To Make Ground Beef Stroganoff
Full details are in the recipe card below, but here are the basics:
- Heat some olive oil in your Instant Pot and add onion and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until onion has softened a tad.
- Next, cook mushrooms for a little.
- Add ground beef, salt and pepper and cook until fully cooked through.
- Pour in Worcestershire sauce.
- From overhead, sprinkle in flour. Stir.
- Beef broth is added next.
- Stir in egg noodles. Cover and pressure cook.
- After cook time is up and the steam has been released, carefully unlock lid.
- Stir in sour cream.
- Add parsley and stir in.
- Grab a ladle (or two).
- Portion into a dish and enjoy!
How Long Does This Beef Stroganoff Recipe Last?
Properly store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and use within 2 to 4 days, reheating before serving.
Reheating Leftovers
Leftover stroganoff reheats wonderfully!
Of course (like with any leftover pasta) it will congeal as it cools, but when it hits the heat it will loosen up beautifully.
To reheat, simply pour a little beef broth into a non-stick frying pan over medium heat (amount of broth will vary depending on how much leftovers you are reheating), add leftovers, cover and cook for about 10 minutes (stirring occasionally) or until it’s heated through.
Tip: It’s better to start with just a little broth because you don’t want to water down your leftovers. About 3 tablespoons is a good place to start.
What To Serve With Beef Stroganoff
This is honestly a hearty meal all by itself, but if you want to make things even more substantial it’s yummy with any of these:
- Crusty bread
- Simple green salad
- Steamed or sautéed green beans
- Sautéed red cabbage
Tips and Variations
- Extra lean ground beef was used, but you would totally use a less lean variety. Just carefully drain any excess fat after the beef has been cooked.
- Mushroom stock or broth is a great alternative to beef broth.
- Parsley adds some freshness and a pop of colour. Another herb option would be dill. A little finely chopped chives or green onion would be yummy as well.
- For extra savoury flavour, try adding a little Dijon mustard when you add the Worcestershire sauce.
- Baby bella mushrooms were used, but you could use white button instead, if you like.

Dana
this recipe is absolutely fantastic, Dawn!! I used my homemade GF noodles and it worked perfectly. I’d run out of beef stock so I used a combo of veggie & chicken stock and it was perfect. I was so excited to try this as I hadn’t had stroganoff in years. Thanks so much, it was def a hit at my house 😀
Dawn - Girl Heart Food
Yay! Thanks Dana! So happy you enjoyed! Have a wonderful day!
Claire
We just loved this! Even the kids asked for seconds!
Plus making it in the slow cooker meant it was great for after school sports!
Dawn - Girl Heart Food

Kevin
Definitely a dish to set it and forget it until dinner time, then devour! What a comforting dish!

Thanks Kevin 🙂
Valentina
Dawn, you’ve just provided me with a dinner plan. 🙂 This will be the perfect Sunday night meal for us — I don’t have an instant pot, but will do it without, and I’ll have to try it with GF flour and GF pasta for my son. I will report back. Cheers! 🙂 ~Valentina
Valentina
Reporting back. 🙂 DELICIOUS! As I said, I don’t have an Instant Pot . . . I ended up making it all in one of my deeper cast iron skillets on the stove, covering it after the pasta and stock went in. I’m sure it took longer, but it was SO flavorful and my whole family loved it. Guarantee you my 15-yr-old son will be having it for his “2nd dinner” he has sometime between dessert and bedtime. It was awesome — so happy I tried it! 🙂 ~Valentina
Dawn - Girl Heart Food
You totally made my day, Valentina! So so happy to hear that!! Thanks so very much for trying and letting me know how it went! Happy weekend 🙂 XOXO
Dawn - Girl Heart Food
Yay! So excited about that, Valentina 🙂 Thanks so much!

David @ Spiced
You’re talkin’ my kinda flavors with this recipe, Dawn! This looks like some serious cold weather comfort food, and I need a bowl of this one to magically appear in my kitchen. I’m always looking for fun new ways to use ground beef, and this definitely lands on the list. It reminds me of Hamburger Helper (do you have that in Canada?), but in a MUCH more delicious kind of way. Two thumbs up here, my friend!
