How to Make Dutch Oven Beef Stroganoff in One-Pot

Dutch Oven Beef Stroganoff doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, and you can customize it to your taste.

Equipment Required

• A large Dutch oven
• Stovetop, conventional oven, camp stove, or hot coals
• Large bowl
• Wooden spoon

Ingredients Overview

Round Steak

The round steak has a lot of flavors and is a perfect choice for this recipe. Although it’s a tougher cut of meat it becomes tender when cooked slowly. Round steak is also a healthy choice because it is high in protein and low in fat.

Sour Cream

Sour cream is a perfect ingredient for beef stroganoff because it gives the dish a creamy and rich texture. It also has a tangy flavor that pairs well with beef and mushrooms. It’s a low-calorie creamy treat, it won’t ruin your diet.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

Creamy mushroom soup complements red meat dishes. Mushrooms are a good source of fiber, vitamins C and B6, and minerals such as selenium, copper, and potassium. This makes them a healthy addition to any recipe.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms are the perfect addition to beef stroganoff because they have a rich and earthy flavor. They also add texture and depth to the dish. You can use any type of mushroom you like, but I prefer to use baby Bella mushrooms or white button mushrooms. These types of mushrooms hold their shape in dishes that are simmered.

Onions

Onions are a key ingredient in beef stroganoff because they add sweetness and depth of flavor. They also help to tenderize the meat. You can use any type of onion you like, but I prefer to use white onions because they have a milder flavor.

Garlic

Garlic undertones give this dish a savory flavor. Garlic is also known for its health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer.

Paprika

Paprika is a spice that adds flavor and color to this dish. It’s made from ground peppers and has a slightly sweet taste.

Egg Noodles

Egg noodles are the perfect type of pasta to use in beef stroganoff because they are hearty and filling. They provide the starchy component that this dish needs. You can use any type of egg noodle you like, but I prefer to use wide egg noodles.

Paprika

Paprika is a spice that adds flavor and color to this dish. It’s made from ground peppers and has a slightly sweet taste.

Substitutions

If you’re looking to make substitutions in this recipe, ground beef can be used but it will change the flavor and texture of the dish. If you do use ground beef, I recommend browning it before adding it to the pot. This will help to remove some of the fat.

You can also substitute the cream of mushroom soup for another type of cream soup, such as cream of vegetable or cream of celery. This will change the flavor of the dish, but it will still be delicious.

Button mushrooms are also a good substitute for flat mushrooms, and beef cubes can be used in place of liquid stock.

If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute the sour cream for an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt. This will give the dish a tangy flavor, similar to sour cream.

This Dutch oven recipe’s ingredients ratios can also be converted to be slow-cooked in a slow cooker, in an oven, or Instant Pot.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, beef stroganoff can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to four days.

If you want to freeze the stroganoff, I recommend doing so before you add the sour cream. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling when it’s reheated.

When you’re ready to eat it, defrost the stroganoff in the refrigerator overnight and then stir in the sour cream before reheating it on the stove or in the microwave.

FAQs

What is the most tender meat for beef stroganoff?

The most tender beef for beef stroganoff is typically filet mignon or a similar cut of steak. However, this can be a bit pricey. A good alternative is to use sirloin, ribeye, rump, round, or even chuck roast that has been trimmed off any excess fat.

How do you add sour cream to the sauce without curdling?

If you want to add sour cream to the sauce without curdling, I recommend doing so after you’ve removed the stroganoff from the heat. Stir in the sour cream until it’s fully incorporated and has a creamy sauce texture.
