💡 Tips & FAQs
Can I use ground beef?
Yes, but reduce the searing time and drain fat before adding sauce ingredients.
Can I freeze beef stroganoff?
Yes — store cooled portions in airtight containers up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat gently.
What if the sauce is too thick?
Add small amounts of beef broth until creamy consistency returns.
