• If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer before adding the sour cream.
• Feel free to add some fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for an extra burst of flavor.
• This dish pairs wonderfully with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

How to Serve

When it comes to serving your Beef Stroganoff, presentation is key! Here are some ideas:

• Serve it hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
• Pair it with a glass of red wine for a cozy dinner experience.
• For a fun twist, serve it over mashed potatoes instead of egg noodles.
• Don’t forget some crusty bread on the side to soak up that creamy sauce!

Make Ahead and Storage

This Beef Stroganoff is perfect for meal prep! Here’s how to make it ahead of time and store it:

• Prepare the stroganoff sauce and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Cook the egg noodles fresh when you’re ready to serve for the best texture.
• You can also freeze the stroganoff sauce for up to 2 months. Just thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
• Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of beef broth if needed to loosen the sauce.
