Beef stroganoff is a classic Russian entrée that traditionally combines cuts of steak with a sour cream sauce and mushrooms. Today, beef stroganoff is usually served over rice or egg noodles, as it is in this dairy-free take on the traditional recipe. Use whatever cuts of steak you prefer.

Enjoy this dish with a tossed green salad or some steamed green beans for a delicious meal.

Recipe Variations

  • Use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
  • Instead of egg noodles, you can serve the stroganoff over rice, potatoes, or zucchini noodles.
  • If sirloin steak is not an option, ground beef works just the same. If you're low on beef, bulk it up with veggies like sliced zucchini. 
  • Other types of dairy-free milk that you can use include cashew cream, coconut milk, almond milk, and rice milk.

Tips

  • Buying small tenderloin steaks will save you time as they won't need to be cut. You can also buy two large steaks and divide them yourself.
  • Cut against the grain of the meat to keep it juicy.
