Ingredients for Beef Stroganoff

Here are some tips for the main ingredients you’ll need to make this delicious Russian dish at home. Find the full list of ingredients in the printable recipe card below.

  • Beef: Traditionally, a cheaper cut of beef or ground beef is used for this beef stroganoff recipe. I love to use beef tenderloin or tenderloin tips because it’s super tender and delicious.
  • Mushrooms: white, brown or even portabella mushrooms will all work great.
  • Egg Noodles: noodles, pasta, rice or even mashed potatoes will all taste delicious as the base for the beef sauce.
  • Fresh Dill: the quintessential herb of Eastern Europe! Fresh dill is always the best choice since it’s very aromatic.
  • Whole Milk: for making the creamy sauce.
