FAQ
Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, beef tenderloin or strip steak work well. Avoid tough cuts that need long braising.

Rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta work as substitutes, though egg noodles are traditional.
How long does leftover stroganoff keep?
Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat gently to prevent sour cream from separating.
