Cooking Notes

Joan

Test-driving this recipe as possible Veg-Thanksgiving main course, I found it absolutely delicious with a couple of changes per other commenters. Sub dry sherry for the white wine. To make it saucier, add a bit more broth and adjust mustard, soy, creme fraiche accordingly. Also, I sprinkled freshly ground nutmeg with the creme fraiche in the firm belief that mushrooms and nutmeg are a marriage made in heaven.

JFox

Doubled the garlic, and doubled the cooking time for the mushrooms (lots of liquid to cook off). Family liked it, but it needs more creamy sauce ratio to the mushrooms.

beverly

Read through recipe and most of notes. Made the adjustments that were most suggested. Sherry instead of white wine, shrooms in batches for more caramelization. Sautéed onions and garlic then added back the cooked mushrooms. 1 tsp butter and flour. Cook for a few minutes, then added rest of ingredients. Served over brown rice, garnished with chives. Steamed green beans on the side.So GOOD!Next time over mashed potatoes.

4.25/5. Would consider cooking mushrooms in batches to get more caramelized, could be user error in cooking. Pan appeared over crowded with onions. After deglazing, added 1 tbsp butter and flour to make a roux. Per other recommendations of sauce being watery… would definitely do again. Served over mashed potatoes. 10/10 would recommend for an easy meatless meal.

This was flavorful but I felt the sauce was thin and watery. I may add flour next time or something to thicken it.

The Dude

I used mushroom stock, not veggie, as I wanted to maximize the mushroom flavor in the dish. Either use a quality store bought stock or make your own from dried porcinis (even better).

The cooking times are a lie! 8-10 minutes not only to cook off the water from a pound and a half of mushrooms but also caramelize too!! Not likely, you’re looking at least at 30 minutes if you’re lucky and boy I was not lucky. I spent at least 20 minutes prepping alone and now here I am almost an hour later and the water still isn’t cooked off the mushrooms! I’ll let you know if they ever caramelize.And step two? Like I need to deglaze… I’ve got a soup of mushroom water here.

Hmm. I'd sub sherry for white wine, and either add cream cheese or sub it for the sour cream.But serving it over mashed potatoes is genius, I'll definitely do that next time.

Kateri

This was fabulous on a chilly autumn evening. I made it plant-based by using cashew cream, and lower sodium by skipping the slat and using 1/3 of the soy sauce. I was a bit generous with the wine and really let the mushrooms, garlic and onion caramelise. Lots of fresh thyme. A tiny spritz of lemon juice to brighten. Seriously delicious.

Matt

It was delicious, but thicker than I expected after adding sour cream. I would add a bit more broth or cook it down less next time. Served over polenta which was a great alternative to the other suggestions.

HBell

Roasting the mushrooms in convection oven concentrates the mushroom flavors and caramelizes beautifully. Takes about 30 minutes. Time to prepare a nice creamy sauce and mashed potatoes. Stir the mushrooms into sauce at the last minute and top with minced parsley.

Erica H

This was delicious, but definitely cook the mushrooms longer to cook the liquid off. The sauce is a little more watery than expected, but still full of flavor. It mixes really well with mashed potatoes. If serving over noodles, I would recommend adding a roux or cornstarch to thicken the sauce so it sticks better. I used a Sauvignon Blanc for the white wine.

Nancy

This was delicious. Made 1.5x sauce (except wine) and did a roux with 1Tbs each butter and flour after deglazing pan, per others' comments. With pre-sliced mushrooms and my 12" cast iron skillet, this was easy and quick. Served over noodles.

Geri

Great recipe. I added blended silken tofu in lieu of the sour cream and it was top tier

Mary

I am going to serve this over soft polenta. Yum.

Beth

I always like to add protein to a meal. How would the addition of cannelloni beans fare?

Megan

I rarely measure anything… Ingredients or cooking times. That said, I thought this turned out very nice.I bought all the varieties of mushrooms available at the local grocery… And added some dried porcini. For the broth, just addedthe porcini soaking liquid and a bit of salt. Cooked some dried rigatoni since that’s what was in the cupboard. Threw it into the stroganoff. Added some roasted broccoli and enjoyed with a bottle of Pinot. I’m perfectly satisfied.

JJD

Made as written twice, once with mashed potatoes and once with polenta. Both 5 stars. When I pass the mushrooms at the store I pause and consider changing my menu plans to include this.

Lara

I followed the recipe and it turned out absolutely delicious! I used brown button mushrooms that I had for a few days already so they were dryer and produced less liquid so I did not have a runny sauce.

Amy

Absolutely delicious. I doubled the garlic and served over roasted sweet potatoes. Thank you!

stuff

Used a tablespoon of butter and flour after deglazing and it thickened it up nicely. Great flavor with a little smoked paprika.

SB

This recipe was fabulous! The ingredients were a revelation over my prior stroganoff recipe with its Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and sherry. I thought the flavors were amazing and so did my boyfriend. But with regard to other comments, I cook to get the results I need. I don't follow cooking times or amounts, just estimate volume according to appearance and taste and same with caramelizing. I cook until the mushrooms look the way I want. If the broth is thin, add thickener or cook off the liquid.

Rrose Selavy

Read other suggestions here which made a beautiful result over mashed potatoes. I started with about 1/3 of the mushrooms then just kept adding as they cooked down, no need to remove the first ones from the pan. Had sake on hand instead of wine, perfectly fine. I was shy with the Dijon, but might add more next time. Used dry mushrooms in addition to fresh and used the soaking liquid in place of veg stock. Did a quick roux in the pan with a little butter and flour, which was a good suggestion.

Erica Aitken

This was absolutely delicious. I used button mushrooms, shiitake, and oyster, all kinds that were "blocky" enough to stay solid.The only change I made was to use vegan sour cream and definitely added more paprika.

Joel

Definitely sauté mushrooms in two or three batches, preferably in cast iron. Otherwise it’s not possible to get browning. Soy sauce was a bit much. Cremini or white mushrooms over oysters for flavor.

Amber

Found making a roux to thicken the sauce pretty essential and a great tip from others! Definitely will be making this again!

Jeff

Made this exactly per recipe last night, with mashed potatoes as the base...was wonderful and family loved it :)

Greg

Loved it. Like others, next time I’ll make a bit more sauce.

Peter

They forgot to mention gnocchi - freshly crisped in a little olive oil - as something to serve this delicious stroganoff.

PanPan

Great recipe. I used a few more onions, adjusted the other ingredients accordingly. It was perfect over mashed potatoes.

How do you add sour cream to stroganoff without curdling? ›

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in a recipe? ›

Full-fat Greek yogurt will offer the closest approximation of sour cream's flavor and texture, and can be used as a one-to-one replacement for sour cream. If you'd like, you can stir some heavy cream into any percentage of Greek yogurt to give it a somewhat richer body and higher fat content.

Is mayonnaise a good substitute for sour cream? ›

Mayo is a great sour cream substitute. It can be used as a 1:1 replacement in both baking and dips. You'll lose some of that tang that sour cream offers, but it still does a great job at adding moisture to baked goods. Plus, it's relatively the same texture as sour cream, which makes it a great sub in dips and sauce.

What if stroganoff is too soupy? ›

Pour flour-water mixture into saucepan with beef mixture. This will thicken very quickly! Add sour cream and stir until mixture is smooth. If too runny, add more flour-water mixture and if too thick, add more sour cream.

Is cornstarch or flour better for gravy? ›

Browning adds more flavor to the gravy and gets rid of the raw flour taste. You're basically making a roux. We find that a flour-based gravy holds up better and reheats better later, which is why we tend to prefer using flour over cornstarch to make gravy unless we have a guest who is eating gluten-free.

How to get stroganoff tender? ›

Remove the beef from the marinade and let it come to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking it. This helps the muscle fibers relax, tenderizing the meat.
