Creamy Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff is ready and on the table in less than 20 minutes!
Comfort food at its finest! Steak in a creamy white wine sauce, served over pasta OR noodles. Your family will go crazy thinking there’s a hidden chef in your kitchen with this Creamy Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff!
No canned soups or ready made packets of anything, and no coating the beef with any flour. Just a beautiful, silky cream sauce with a hint of wine aromas gently simmering away on the stove. Rivals any restaurant! I first shared this recipe three years ago (CD is getting OLD), and readers LOVED it so much back then that I thought I’d fix up the old phots and republish it back with some tips so all of my new readers can make it for dinner!
The Best Cut Of Meat For Beef And Mushroom Stroganoff
I prefer the following beef cuts in this recipe. They stay tender during the cooking process without drying out and causing overly chewy pieces of meat in your sauce.
- Sirloin
- Tenderloin
- Eye fillet
- Scotch fillet
- Flank steak
Because there is nothing worse than chewy dried out meat!
What Is Stroganoff Sauce Made Of?
This version is lightened up with a light or reduced fat sour cream and extra broth (or stock) for MORE SAUCE! There are so many different variations of Beef Stroganoff: some with or without sour cream, and some using brandy instead of wine. During testing, my family, friends and everyone who tried it absolutely loved this version the most. I also include Dijon mustard in this one. There’s something about Dijon together with wine in a creamy sauce that warms my soul. Plus paprika and a good hint of garlic, this sauce is pretty much perfection.
What Is Beef Stroganoff Served With?
- Egg noodles (the most popular side)
- Pasta (any type: egg fettuccine or angel hair are the most preferred)
- Plain rice
- Spaghetti squash (a low calorie option)
- Zoodles (zucchini noodles)

How To Make Creamy Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff!
Creamy Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff
Weight Watchers: 13pp per serve
Ingredients
- 500 g | 1lbs egg Fettuccine (dry weight)
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
- 1 pound (500 grams) sliced mushrooms
- 24 ounces (700 grams) lean beef fillet steaks, seasoned with salt and pepper and cubed into 1 1/2-inch pieces (sirloin, tenderloin, eye fillet or scotch fillet)
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika, (smoky or mild)
- 1/3 cup dry white wine, (or more if you like it stronger)
- 2 cups beef broth (or stock), (or 2 cups water mixed with 1 tablespoon vegetable stock powder)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup light sour cream at room temperature, (or reduced fat cooking cream)
- Freshly chopped parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Boil the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to packet instructions until al dente. Remove; strain and set aside.
- While pasta is boiling, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Sear the steak in single layer batches until browned; transfer to a separate plate and set aside until all batches are done.
- Melt the remaining butter in the pan; add the onions and sauté until transparent, then add the garlic and fry until just fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are tender and cooked through (about 4 minutes). Mix in the mustard and paprika.
- Add the wine and cook for about 3 minutes while stirring occasionally to mix all of the flavours through, deglazing the pan while scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with your spoon. Allow wine to reduce down to about half the amount (about 3 minutes).
- While wine is reducing down, grab a small jug and whisk together the beef broth (or stock), flour and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Pour the beef broth mixture into the pan, mix well and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Return the beef and any juices from the plate to the pan and season with any extra salt and pepper (if desired). Reduce heat down to low and mix in sour cream. Heat until hot (do not boil).
- Add the pasta or noodles into the pan and garnish with parsley.

Hubs loved it on egg noodles, and I loved it on spaghetti squash! Such a sophisticated-tasting blend of flavors. Will make again!
Karina says
Thank you!
Jennifer says
does it need to be a dry white wine, or will just about any white wine work?
Casidy says
Made this tonight! Loved the flavor and super simple recipe to follow. Already keep most of these ingredients on hand, so it will be easy to remake anytime!
Allison says
We loved this dish and it was easy to make!
Stephanie Magoon says
We made this last night with egg noodles and it was delicious; the directions were so easy to follow and tonight we are having the remaining sauce/beef over biscuits.
love your recipes on this site.
Sharon says
When do you add the sour cream? I don’t see that under your instructions.
Karina says
You will add in the sour cream at the end in step 6. Hope that helps! XO
Colleen says
I used 3 teaspoons of red wine vinegar because I didn’t have any white wine. It was a little runny at the end after I had added the sour cream so I added some cornstarch and it thick and right up. Very tasty and we’ll make again!
Shirley says
Nothing is awesome if you have searched for the recipe and can’t find it. I can find pictures. But no recipe. Very disappointing
Karina says
Hi! I’m so sorry about this. It seems to be a technical issue on mobile only and we are working on it right now. The recipes are on desktop if you need them urgently! Hopefully we will have all recipes up again soon! Thank you for your patience! Karina X
Chris says
Absolutely loved the sauce. Delicious and complex. This is my new favorite beef stragonoff recipe and I have tried several! My only problem was the beef turned out tough and chewy. I am a beginning cook but it seems the beef could be braised in the sauce for 30-40 minutes which would make it very tender? Am I missing something? I might try this next go around and hold off on the mushrooms until near the end.
Karina says
I think you did everything right. I do like to use a meat thermometer to help with the cooking of meat. Once it reaches temperature I will take the meat off the heat or cook it according to the recipe. Hope that helps!
Jade says
Made this tonight and it’s absolutely gorgeous.
Gina Kramer says
Hi Karina, I tried your recipe this evening and it’s really good. Other Stroganoff recipes often turn out a bit too sour but yours is just scrumptious! I’ll definitely make it again. Thank you. 🙂
Tymeron Smith says
That is great to hear! Thanks so much for sharing! That makes my day!
Alexsandra says
I used red wine instead of white just because I love the flavor. The mustard was a little bit intense for me, but overall I’d say this is an excellent recipe!
DeeAnn says
Wonderful!! Probably the best we have ever tasted. I added extra mushrooms because we love them and used a little more wine.
Sue Parkinson says
Made this for tea tonight – minus the white wine. It turned out really nice.
Katie says
Is the wine necessary for the recipe? Is there a substitute I can use?
Karina says
Hi Katie! No the wine isn’t necessary 🙂 . You can substitute the wine for stock to keep the flavour!
renxkyoko says

Karina says
Aw that’s awesome! Thank you. I hope you try it! 🙂

I love creamy pasta so much. Actually, i just had it yesterday. I always remind myself to order a new dish whenever i come to that favorite restaurant, but finally it just return to that creamy pasta. I think i’m addicted to it.
