i usually make it with skirt steak, butter, flour (for roux), yellow onons, dash nutmeg, S & P, tarragon, chicken stock, white wine, mushrooms and sour cream. But what I really like to throw in because I love them is pearl onions. I serve them with egg or butter noodles.

Beef (either thinly sliced steak or ground if I'm feeling lazy), salt, shallots, mushrooms, sour cream, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, caraway seeds, nutmeg...and sometimes butternut squash. Always served over buttered egg noodles.

Cubed Deer, Pork and Beef (or just beef), Onions, Garlic, tarragon, thyme, teeny-weeny bit of cinnamon, red wine (either cab or red zin usually), whatever frozen stock I have, Wild Mushrooms (either fresh picked or frozen), button mushrooms, and whipping cream.
@pjracz - I should try pearl onions! Good idea!
I'm weird tho, I serve mine on steamed potatoes.
:D

Flat Iron steak or sirloin, bacon, beef broth, mushrooms, onions, garlic, sour cream, S & P, Worcestershire sauce, and served over wide egg noodles.

I'm not so foofy, and cream of ___ soups are not as bad as is claimed around here. I happen to be making some beef stroganoff this evening; Sliced slow-roasted roast from Sunday evening, which I'll reheat by sautéing with some onion and sliced mushrooms. The noodles are wide or extra wide from Das Dutchman Essenhaus, an Amish place in Indiana (my local Kroger sells their noodles). Once the meat is reheated enough, I add a can of cream 'o mushroom soup, and a can's amount of good sour cream.

@hungrychristel - I used to love beef Stroganoff on mash!
I need to come up with a dairy free version though if I want to make it...and now really want to make it! I'm thinking, silken tofu instead of sour cream...

I use lots of onions and mushrooms and LOTS of sour cream - as in 1 to 2 cups - and it's the only food I MUST top with dried crumbled parsley just because my mom did. I know, I know.

I'm all about the Cooks Illustrated recipe: filet mignon, white button mushrooms, or a mix of white and cremini, beef and chicken broth, butter, onion, tomato paste, dark brown sugar, flour, dry white wine, sour cream, egg noodles
Last week I made cooks country's skillet stroganoff recipe which has the same basic ingredients except sirloin for the filet mignon, brandy instead of white wine, and it's great because you cook the egg noodles right in the same skillet. Both are very tasty, and great on cold winter days!

I'm originally from Russia and I always serve my beef stroganoff with fried potatoes! Here's my recipe (it comes with the story of the origins of the dish)

If you can, make it with game - venison, moose, bear... the gamier the better. Soak the meat in oyster sauce for an hour or so, and then make in your usual manner.
Yum.

@brooke Tofutti has a wonderful version of lactose free sour cream.
I usually make mine with beef cubes, onions, sometimes bell peppers, (i prefer yellow or even red for a milder flavor) red wine, lots of s&p tons and tons of mushrooms and sour cream, I serve it usually over rice. Ex liked it over dry mashed potatoes.
@Nursie I've made it with venison and elk but never tried oyster sauce.
I've only had bear a few times but I actually like the taste. I think gamy tasting meats are actually pretty good because in my opinion, thats how meat is supposed to taste. Not pumped full of fear and stress hormones because of the way it was "raised" . Ok I'm off my soap box now, sorry

@Brooke29 - Now that would be winner, mash , have to try that way.
@5starfoodie- Thanks for the recipe, I will have to try that as well.
Now I am drooling at the thougt of stroganoff and with this batch I will make it WITH both styles of potatoes. lol

I use steak sliced thin any different type works fine for me, flour, stock,lots of fresh mushrooms and sour cream. Simple and easy but I do tend to double the sauce and mushrooms because I prefer the sauce and mushrooms to the actual meat.

@5starfoodie... my grandmother was from Russia also and my mom always made it with fried pototoes too! sometimes with scrambled eggs and onions with the pototoes also.., sounds kinda gross as I'm typing that but its quite tasty...

@huney - thanks, I'll check it out!
brooke29 at 3:30PM on 01/21/09
*potatoes* i mean... i really do know how to spell it...
hungrygrl7 at 3:30PM on 01/21/09
@hungry ~ isn't pototoes what the Wicked Witch of the West ate in the Wizard of Oz? Dorothy was devastated. Poor Toto, I mean pototo. LOL
I like the CI version, but I'm somewhat flexible except for the noodles. At least the first night. Leftovers can be morphed into a mashed potato topping or something else, but not the original tasting. Egg noodles only!
PerkyMac at 3:37PM on 01/21/09
i MUST have had Toto on the mind lol
hungrygrl7 at 4:25PM on 01/21/09
I make mine with thinly sliced round steak (affordable), sauted yellow onion (large dice), beef stock, sliced mushrooms, red wine, minced garlic, s&p, mined parsley and thicken with either a roux or if i am lazy a slurry of cornstarch or crean of mushroom soup. just before serving 1/2 c good sourcream. Served over rice or wide egg noodles.
