What is beef stroganoff?
Beef stroganoff is a Russian dish made with tender beef in a rich sour cream and mushroom sauce, typically served over egg noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.
Why make beef stroganoff in one pot?
Making stroganoff in one pot will save time and effort, making weeknight dinners so simple and effortless.
- Fewer dishes: there’s no need to boil the egg noodles separately
- More flavor: the egg noodles get cooked by soaking up the broth, infusing the noodles with maximum beef and mushroom flavor
- Rich, silky sauce: the starch from the pasta will naturally thicken the sauce, creating a rich, creamy sauce that will cling to the egg noodles
How to make one pot beef stroganoff
- Sauté the mushrooms. Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat, then add the mushrooms and onion, cooking until the mushrooms are browned, about 3-5 minutes.
- Crumble the beef. Add the ground beef and crumble until the meat is fully browned, draining off any excess fat and grease.
- Add the aromatics. Stir in the garlic and thyme until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Stir in the flour. Add the flour until lightly browned to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Deglaze the pan. Stir in the wine (or beef stock), lifting up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Simmer. Stir in the beef stock, Worcestershire, Dijon, egg noodles, salt and pepper. Reduce the heat; cover the pan and simmer until the egg noodles are cooked through, about 9-10 minutes.
- Finish and serve. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream, then garnish with parsley and serve warm.

One Pot Beef Stroganoff: Frequently Asked Questions
What meat works best?
Lean ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey or plant based ground beef are all excellent options.
What can I use in place of the red wine?
Use additional beef stock as a non-alcoholic substitute. Stock will be less acidic and more mild in flavor than red wine.
Can I use a different pasta?
Fusilli or rotini can be used but may require a few extra minutes to cook through.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely! Replace the beef with plant based ground beef or additional mushrooms, and swap out the beef stock for vegetable stock.
How can I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, gently reheating on the stovetop until warmed through.

- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

Equipment
Notes
- Use your favorite meat. Ground beef, chicken or turkey will all work very well here.
- Choose a wine you will drink. A dry white wine (pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc) is great here – it does not have to be anything fancy or overpriced. Just something you don’t mind sipping on since you will have an open bottle.
- Use good-quality stock. The better quality your stock, the better your stroganoff. Many brands love to pack in the salt so always opt for unsalted or a lower-sodium variety.
- Add in leafy greens. This is a great recipe to sneak in leafy greens for those picky eaters. Spinach, kale, collard greens, swiss chard, or arugula are all great options.
- Turn off the heat. Sour cream curdles and separates if boiled. Always turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream until smooth.
- Make it lighter. Swap out the sour cream for Greek yogurt for added creaminess (with less fat) and protein.

Love that this is all made in one pan! So easy! The only change I made was to use stone ground mustard as we do not like Dijon. we will be making this again. Good comfort food. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been making this recipe for years and it always turns out great! Easy, tasty and minimal dishes. Easy recommend.
Absolutely the best stroganoff recipe I’ve ever eaten! Followed the recipe to the letter, and would not change a thing. So flavorful!
When the weather gets cooler always think of this comfort food. And yours is the best one pot dish by far! I don’t always have the spices on hand but can easily improvise thanks D.D.
Easy to make and really good! Thank you for this recipe. It is now has a place in our favorites file:)
What a great recipe! I’ve made it 3 times now. Once for myself and twice for guests. Once I used Quinoa and Rice Fusilli and used Almond Flour for thickening to keep it gluten free. Used greek yogurt instead of sour cream. My guests loved it on both occasions and asked for leftovers the next day. I also made it with chicken and chicken broth. This recipe is a keeper!
My family doesn’t like mushrooms – should I sub something else or just leave out?
I buy them whole and cut them up in large pieces. I pick them out and eat them all!
Excellent dish! Did not change or alter anything. Thank you for sharing.
Super easy and delicious!
This was so good! Easy to fix at last minute. Its a keeper.
Thank you, Chungah…that was indeed , damned delicious.
I defrosted my garage freezer and thought I should use the ground beef there…not THAT old, but use it!!! This was so easy to cook and absolutely delicious.
I’ve printed the recipe…it is a keeper and I shall share it.
Love your recipes. Well done….thanks for sharing
Is there a way that this meal can be frozen? I am always combing your site for freezer recipes, as I make meals to take to my mom’s house (to ease her load with meal prep).
couldn’t find cremini so had to use white button mushrooms, and had to add probably another 1/2 cup of sour cream before I could taste it. SC taste should be subtle, but should be able to notice it. otherwise, great recipe.
It should freeze same as lasagna……cook noodles only until eldente so not mushy when reheated
I’ve made this recipe several times. Easy & love that it’s all done in 1 pot. I now add a few handfuls of kale after adding the broth and noodles and liked it even more. Delicious!
Excellent recipe! Will be making this again and adding the dinner rotation.
What are the macros for this?
Haaa!
All your recipes are sooooo good and basically simple. This one pot stroganoff was so easy and absolutely delicious!
Even with this heat, I was so hungry for beef stroganoff. I rarely make it so I don’t have a good recipe. Just made this last night. Wow! Absolutely hit the spot. So good, I went back for seconds. Even better, it was so blessedly easy.
I’m about to make, will comment when complete and we’ve eaten!!
Simple enough, and tasty enough! I’ve made this recipe several times. I always add more garlic, everything is really to you and your family’s taste. I also use white cooking wine instead of “dry” wine. Turns out fine. Be careful of your cook times I’ve discovered some egg noodles cook a little faster, so just peek in the pot after about 5 minutes. I never have “fresh parsley” in my house so we use the dried. If you decide to use the dried parsley sprinkle it on a few minutes before the pasta is done.
