Easy One Pot Meatball Stroganoff Recipe (2024)

FAQs

What can I add to stroganoff for more flavor? ›

Quartered mushrooms and a combination of pearl onions and shallots give the finished dish a more interesting texture and flavor. Adding gelatin to the chicken stock gives it more body, letting the sauce come together more tightly to coat the meat and noodles.

Luckily, there's a quick and easy solution waiting quietly in your pantry — cornstarch. Cornstarch is a reliable and widely used thickening agent, that works in sauces, gravies, and soups.

Greek yogurt is a healthy alternative to the traditionally used sour cream in beef stroganoff recipes, so you can be confident that your family is getting a satisfying, healthy meal. Fresh dill and paprika will provide a sweet, slightly smoky garnish to top off the dish.

Stir about 1/2 cup of hot sauce into sour cream, then stir mixture back into sauce. Add mushrooms and beef; heat to warm through, about 1 minute. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and serve over buttered egg noodles.

Sauce Ingredients: Butter, onion, garlic, white wine, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, flour and plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream) are the ingredients used to make classic beef stroganoff sauce. If you prefer not to cook with wine, feel free to just add in a little extra beef stock instead.

A stroganoff sauce usually consists of sour cream, mustard, and chopped fresh herbs. This version replaces the sour cream and heavy cream with coconut milk and beef stock to keep it dairy-free, then added fresh parsley for extra flavor. It's the perfectly creamy sauce to serve over meat, noodles, rice, or potatoes!

I like to err of the side of caution and I let the pot and its contents cool completely, then I stir through the sour cream, no more curdling! For those nights when you're in a rush and don't have time for this, you can temper the cream.

Add the onion and cook gently for 10 minutes, or until softened and starting to caramelise. Stir in the garlic and cook gently for 2 minutes. Crumble in the stock cube and stir in the paprika and tomato purée.

How do you tenderize beef strips for stroganoff? ›

Slice beef very thinly across the grain and place in ceramic or glass bowl. Mix together the baking soda and 1/4 cup water, then pour it over the beef. Stir well and let sit for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, melt butter into oil and sauté onions on low heat for about 10 minutes until golden.

The difference between a traditional beef stroganoff and the Hamburger Helper version is the meat. The traditional version has cuts of beef, while the Hamburger Helper version uses ground beef. I decided to stick with that for my recipe! I added in more vegetables and the homemade sauce was really easy to make.

Worcestershire sauce: The Worcestershire sauce helps add a depth of flavor to the sauce. You could also substitute coconut aminos or soy sauce. Onions: You can use yellow onions, sweet onions, or even white onions. Garlic: Fresh is best.

Sweet (e.g. roasted vegetables, honey, fruit, caramelised onion) Salty (e.g. salt, soy sauce, fish sauce, Parmesan, anchovy). Umami that very savoury, base flavour that gives your food guts (e.g. soy sauce, fish sauce, crispy bacon, Parmesan, anchovy, tomato puree, the crust on a burger or steak)

Acidic ingredients help lift and balance flavor. Use small amounts of ingredients with bold flavors such as pomegranate seeds, chipotle pepper or cilantro. Give a flavor burst with condiments such as horseradish, flavored mustard, chutney, wasabi, bean purees, tapenade and salsas of all kinds.

Add chopped fresh cilantro leaves and lime juice to plain sour cream for a fresh zesty flavor.
