Easy Beef Stroganoff Without Mushrooms

Beef Stroganoff Without Mushrooms is an easy stovetop dinner made with thin strips of steak in a rich, creamy sauce with beef broth, sour cream, Dijon mustard, onions, and garlic. If you’re wondering how to make beef stroganoff without mushrooms, this recipe gives you the creamy stroganoff flavor you want without adding mushrooms.

Serve the beef and sauce over egg noodles for a simple comfort-food dinner. The steak is quickly seared first, then a butter-and-flour roux thickens the beef broth before the sour cream and Dijon mustard are added to finish the sauce.

Ingredient tips

• Steak: Sirloin or ribeye both work well here. Cut the steak into thin strips so it sears quickly and stays tender.
• Egg noodles: Egg noodles are the classic pairing and what I recommend serving with this beef stroganoff without mushrooms.
• Beef broth: Use beef broth rather than water because it builds the savory beef flavor in the sauce.
• Dijon mustard: Dijon adds acidity and depth to the stroganoff sauce without making it taste strongly of mustard.
• Sour cream: Sour cream gives the sauce its signature creamy texture and tangy stroganoff flavor.

How To Make Beef Stroganoff Without Mushrooms

1. Slice and season the steak. Cut the steak into thin strips and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the beef. Heat a little oil over medium-high heat and quickly sear the steak in batches until browned. Don’t cook it all the way through. Remove it from the pan and set aside.
3. Cook the onions and garlic. Lower the heat, add the butter, then cook the onions and garlic until they begin to soften and brown. Scrape up the browned bits from the steak as they cook.
4. Make the roux. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute.
5. Add the broth. Pour in the beef broth and stir until the flour and broth come together.
6. Finish the sauce. Stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 3–5 minutes, until thick and creamy. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
7. Return the beef. Add the steak back to the sauce and simmer for another minute or two.
8. Serve. Spoon the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and serve warm.
