I grew up eating beef stroganoff, and I always loved it. The combination of silky egg noodles, creamy sauce and earthy richness was perfect on cold winter nights. My mom’s version of the dish combined a well-cooked pot roast, cream of mushroom soup and dry onion soup mix to get a creamy texture and earthy flavor. My version is more decadent but just as easy to throw together as the one I grew up with.
When I adapted the classic, I wanted to keep the essentials — egg noodles, sour cream and beef — but instead of starting with pot roast, I opted for the firmer texture of ground beef. I replaced the onion soup mix with thinly sliced shallots and added fresh cremini mushrooms and a touch of brandy. I’ve also incorporated a sprinkle of fresh herbs, which add color and balance the richness of the dish.
