For my gluten free friends this will be the best recipe for both texture and flavor. There are no funny aftertastes or odd textures.

The sauce is naturally gluten free. The only difference between the regular version and the gluten free version is the egg noodles.

And for my non-gluten free friends you won’t miss the flour from some other beef stroganoff recipes.

This recipe is made without any flour and the gravy is completely gluten free. 

It gets a thick, creamy consistency with a slurry mixture and sour cream.

A slurry is simply a combination of cornstarch and cold water. If you aren’t a fan of corn starch you can also use arrowroot.

Here are some common questions and answers and step by step directions on how to make the recipe.

What Meat is the Best For Stroganoff?

Beef stroganoff is said to come from Russia. It was traditionally made with cubes of meat sautéed in butter and served in a mustard and broth sauce. The sauce was topped on top of pasta with sour cream.

Traditionally this meal wasn’t made with expensive cuts of meat. It is a great recipe to use up unwanted cuts of meat.

Whatever meat you choose to use you will want to cut the meat very thin. This will help to tenderize any meat choice you use.

The trick is to cook it really quickly at a high temperature. You do not want to not overcook it or it can become rubbery and tough. Only 2-3 minutes or so will be sufficient.

The best meat to use for stroganoff is beef sirloin, beef tenderloin, skirt steak, flank steak or New York Strip.

What is Stroganoff Sauce Made Of?

The delicious, velvety sauce is made with thin sliced beef, a variety of mushrooms and aromatics such as garlic and shallots.

The beef gets quickly seared and removed from the pan. Then all the fond is brought up by sautéing the mushrooms and aromatics in butter.

The pan is then deglazed with some Worcestershire sauce, Sherry wine and beef broth.

The sauce is thickened with a cornstarch slurry, sour cream and flavored with fresh thyme, salt and pepper.

I skipped the traditional mustard in this dish and get a delicious umami flavor with the Worcestershire sauce and Sherry.

There are so many variations with stroganoff and you can make it your own.

You can use chicken instead or make it a vegetarian dish and leave out the meat. 

What Do I Serve With Beef Stroganoff?

Traditionally beef stroganoff is made with buttered egg noodles but you can serve it over anything you would like. 

For a gluten free version you can serve the gravy mixture over brown rice, gluten free egg noodles or  cauliflower mashed potatoes.

Gluten Free Beef Stroganoff:

If you are Celiac make sure to always double check your labels for hidden gluten.

Make sure your Worcestershire sauce is gluten free. Most brands sold in the U.S. are naturally gluten free and are made without barley malt, but double check your bottle.

Instead of using gluten free flour we are thickening the stroganoff with corn starch. I find this tastes much better and is especially better for texture purposes.

Ingredients For Beef Stroganoff?

This recipe is made with simple ingredients. If you can’t find one of the ingredients or don’t already have them on hand I have included some alternatives.

Beef Steak: I used sirloin, but refer to the section above to find a cut that is right for you.

Mushrooms: I love using a variety of mushrooms for this dish. If you can find different types of mushrooms you can use regular button mushrooms.

Egg Noodles: Pictured above are regular egg noodles. Obviously use gluten free egg noodles if you are making this as a gluten free version.

Beef Broth: Get a good quality beef broth.

Sherry Cooking Wine: The sherry adds a unique flavor. I would highly recommend using it.

I use a cooking wine which is non-alcoholic and you can find at most grocery stores. You can also use white wine if needed.

Worcestershire Sauce: This adds a terrific umami flavor.

Avocado Oil: You can also use olive oil.

Butter: I use Kerrygold butter.

Thyme: I recommend using fresh thyme.

Sour Cream: You can use plane Greek yogurt, cream cheese, heavy cream as alternatives.

Shallot: Shallots add a mild onion flavor. You can also use white or yellow onion.

Garlic: Use fresh garlic for ultimate flavor.

Corn Starch: This is used as a thickening agent. Make sure you mix the cornstarch with some of the Sherry before adding it to the sauce to prevent clumps.

You can also use arrowroot if needed. 

What can I use instead of sour cream in stroganoff?

You can use plain Greek yogurt, cream, or cream cheese as a substitute for sour cream.

If you need a dairy free option you can also use unsweetened coconut cream.
