Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens
- tip 1It’s important to create a slurry with the flour and broth so the mixture will blend in with meat mixture in the skillet without forming lumps. Bringing everything to a boil thickens the skillet dish and cooking it for a minute or two cooks away any raw flour taste.
- tip 2A hearty dash of Worcestershire sauce really enhances meat-based dishes. It’s a liquid condiment that offers a rich, savory flavor to meat dishes and beverages (it’s made from garlic, soy sauce, onion, molasses, anchovies, and vinegar).
- tip 3The sirloin steak is easier to slice if it’s partially frozen. The steak strips cook fast and after a short simmer will result in a quick and easy week night dinner.
- tip 4Sautéing the aromatics (garlic and onion) first helps define their taste by taking their pungent edge off and allowing them to develop a natural sweetness.
- tip 5White button mushrooms are delicious in the creamy sauce; for a different flavor, try shiitakes (remove the stems and slice them) instead.

More About This Recipe
- Once upon a time, there really was a guy named “Stroganoff” (in the Anglicized version), which is the reason for the name of the delicious beef and pasta dish we’re still enjoying today. Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov, a 19th-century Russian aristocrat, loved good food and hired a famous French chef to prepare his meals. Many food historians think it was Stroganov’s cook, André Dupont, who had the idea to name his special beef fricassee for his employer—and with that, beef stroganoff was born.
