The Knorr Stroganoff seasoning mix is the backbone of this recipe. Find it in the international section of most supermarkets. If you can’t locate it, check online or at specialty stores. The quality beef broth matters too—low-sodium is best so you can control the salt level. For the beef, sirloin or ribeye work beautifully when thinly sliced.

No fresh mushrooms? Canned work perfectly in a pinch. For an extra-creamy sauce, full-fat sour cream is worth it. If you need to substitute the Dijon mustard, regular yellow mustard will do, though the flavor will be slightly different. The egg noodles should be cooked al dente—wide or pappardelle noodles work particularly well here.

This dish reheats beautifully. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of beef broth or water to thin the sauce if needed. Freeze individual portions for up to 2 months for quick future meals.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Knorr Stroganoff

Let’s create this creamy comfort food masterpiece together, step by step, in under 30 minutes.

Step 1: Sear the Beef Strips

Heat 2 tablespoons of the 4 tablespoons Butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb Beef Strips and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned. I like to let them develop a nice sear on the outside while remaining tender within. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside, leaving the juices behind.

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms and Build Flavor

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons Butter. Once melted, add the 8 oz Button Mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and start browning. The aroma will fill your kitchen and signal that the dish is coming together. Sprinkle in the 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux that will thicken our sauce.

Step 3: Create the Creamy Stroganoff Sauce

Gradually pour in the 2 cups Beef Broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Stir in the 1 package Knorr Stroganoff Seasoning Mix and 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard. The sauce will start to take on that signature Stroganoff flavor. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the 1 cup Sour Cream. Let it simmer gently for 1-2 minutes until heated through, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 4: Cook the Egg Noodles and Combine

While the sauce is simmering, cook the 8 oz Egg Noodles according to package instructions until they’re al dente. Drain and set aside. Add the cooked beef back into the skillet with the sauce and stir to coat. The beef will absorb all that creamy goodness. Combine the cooked egg noodles with the beef and sauce, tossing everything together until the noodles are well coated.

Step 5: Finish with Fresh Parsley and Serve

Season the Stroganoff with 1 tsp Salt and 0.5 tsp Black Pepper to taste. Transfer the dish to a serving platter or individual plates. Sprinkle the 0.25 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley over the top for a burst of freshness and color. Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the creamy texture and rich flavors you’ve created.

Perfect Pairings for This knorr stroganoff

Classic Side Dish Pairings

A simple steamed green bean salad with lemon vinaigrette provides a nice contrast to the rich Stroganoff. I toss 4 cups green beans with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Alternatively, roasted asparagus adds a sophisticated touch. Roast at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until tender. 🥗

Wine Pairing Suggestions

A dry Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay pairs beautifully with the creamy sauce. For red wine lovers, a light-bodied Pinot Noir works well. The acidity cuts through the richness of the dish. I recommend chilling white wines to 45-50°F for optimal flavor. 🍷

Beer Pairing Options

A crisp lager or Pilsner cleanses the palate between bites. For craft beer enthusiasts, a Belgian-style witbier with citrus notes complements the dish nicely. Avoid heavy IPAs or stouts that might overpower the delicate flavors. The beer’s crispness helps balance the creaminess. 🍺

Garnish Ideas

Fresh parsley or dill adds a pop of color and freshness. You can also sprinkle some paprika for a smoky touch. For a more gourmet presentation, add some toasted slivered almonds or chopped fresh chives. These small touches elevate the dish’s visual appeal.

Additional Touches

Serve with crusty bread or warm dinner rolls to soak up the creamy sauce. For a complete meal, consider adding a simple side salad with mixed greens and a light vinaigrette. These additions make the meal feel more rounded and satisfying.
