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.

Loved it! I made it with ground turkey and it was so good! I like the milkiness of the sauce, extra-thick ones are tasty, but that richness makes you feel so blah later.

I made it last night and it was a hit. We can’t wait for leftovers for tonight. Perfect. I used sirloin sliced thin and baby Bella mushrooms. Thank you!
Debra Bour says
Absolutely divine! We will only use this recipe now. Husband loves it.
Jessica says
This was SO delicious and a great way to use up leftover steak!! I scaled down to about 3.5 of all ingredients (except pasta (egg noodles), which I used about half). So, soo good. Thank you!!

Ramona LaMont says
Great recipe—I use my sliced-up leftover grilled (T-Bone) steak added at the end just to heat up for a few minutes and serve over those egg noodles–this way that meat is always sooooo tender!
