Can I Leave The Mushrooms Out of Recipe?
Not a fan of mushrooms? Go right ahead and leave them out if you would like. The mushrooms add some tasty flavor but if you don’t care for them, just leave them out of the recipe.
What is stroganoff sauce made of?
Stroganoff sauce is made with butter and flour. Then stirring in the broth it is a great way to add more richness to the sauce. The key is to allow the flour to cook for a short bit to remove the flavor of the flour. Then it thickens up for a creamy and savory broth.
What is the best meat for beef stroganoff?
When working with the Instant Pot the beauty of it is you can buy cheap meat and still get a tender end result. Stew meat is affordable. Or you can opt for top sirloin, ribeye meat, or even go the route of ground beef. No matter what you choose it is a tasty addition.
What can I use instead of sour cream in beef stroganoff?
If you don’t enjoy sour cream you can leave it out. Stir in some milk with a teaspoon of lemon juice or even a heavy cream. If you need it to be dairy-free you can swap it for a dairy replacement or leave out the creamy texture altogether. Or even adding in a bit of mayonnaise can bring in that tangy flavor.
Storing Leftovers
Go right ahead and allow your dish to cool down a bit then transfer to an airtight container. Then you can refrigerate the leftover stroganoff for 2-3 days. It reheats pretty well. Sometimes the sauce gets soaked up into the noodles.
If you need to add a splash of broth and stir to give it a creamy texture again if it seems dry.
