Greek yogurt is a healthy alternative to the traditionally used sour cream in beef stroganoff recipes, so you can be confident that your family is getting a satisfying, healthy meal. Fresh dill and paprika will provide a sweet, slightly smoky garnish to top off the dish.

Traditionally, tenderloin is the meat of choice for Stroganoff, and after testing out a few alternatives—strip steak and ribeye along with more inexpensive cuts like flap meat, hanger, flank, and skirt—I decided to stick with tradition (flap meat and hanger came in a close second).

Beef stew usually has onions, potatoes, carrots, maybe turnip in it. Beef Stroganoff has diced onion, beef, beef broth, tomato sauce or paste, and is finished with sour cream, which is never (in my home) put into stew.

You are combining essentially what is a hot stew and cold sour cream out of the fridge. This is what causes the cream to curdle. I like to err of the side of caution and I let the pot and its contents cool completely, then I stir through the sour cream, no more curdling!

Add Your Own Twist! Elevate the comfort! Stir in cooked fresh mushrooms and a dollop of sour cream just before serving. Sprinkle with chopped fresh or dried parsley.

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.

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.

Beef Stock: Use stock instead of broth. It adds deep, savory flavor to your Beef Stroganoff sauce. Egg Noodles: I always use wide egg noodles and cook them al dente. They taste delicious and hold up well as leftovers.

Greek yogurt, cream cheese, or heavy cream all work with this recipe as well. If you want to omit the sour cream to make it vegan or because you have dietary restrictions, you can substitute the milk in this recipe for your favorite dairy-free alternative like coconut milk or almond milk.

I like the added flavor. Add diced garlic and mix everything together until well combined. Don't overwork the beef to keep it tender but do break it down as you stir to combine. Add dry seasonings; Italian seasoning, Lawry's season salt, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, chili flakes, and a dash of dry mustard.
