What to Serve with Beef Stroganoff
This recipe can be a meal in itself, but if you're making a full spread here are a few favorites that pair with beef stroganoff deliciously:
- Low carb half calorie rice
- Low carb mashed potatoes
- Chopped salad with crispy chickpeas and cucumbers
- Healthy 8 salad mix
- Homemade apple pie
- Cherry pie
Simple Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- a tender beef roast - good cuts are chuck roast, beef tenderloin, or rump roast.
- oil, such as avocado
- cornstarch, to dredge the beef in. This will help to make the sauce thick and glossy as it cooks.
- salt and pepper, to taste
- spices - garlic powder, thyme, and savory. Scroll down to the FAQs to read more about savory, if you're not familiar with this delicious seasoning.
- gluten free cream of mushroom soup -this is a huge time saver! I've been making this classic comfort food with cream soup for decades. It's an easy recipe for busy weeknights.
- dijon mustard - this is common in traditional beef stroganoff recipes. It adds a little bit of tangy flavor, but the flavor doesn't stick out at all.
- beef broth - this helps turn cream soup into a flavorful sauce
For the Sauteéd Mushrooms:
We have mushroom lovers in our family, and mushroom haters, too. Most of the time I cook the mushrooms separately from the stroganoff and serve them on the side so the whole family can dish it up the way they like.
- fresh white button mushrooms, rinsed with water. I soak my mushrooms in water before cooking them for the best results. If you sauté dry mushrooms they will absorb all the butter before they get browned. When mushrooms are full of water they will get nicely browned and crispy when they're cooked.
- butter - to cook the mushrooms
- salt and pepper - season the mushrooms as they cook.
Best Gluten-free Noodles
Three types of gluten free pasta that are perfect for gluten free beef stroganoff:

Best Cuts of Beef for Stroganoff
When choosing beef for this recipe, you want to look for tender cuts of beef, like chuck roast, beef tenderloin, rump roast, or beef brisket.
It's not a good thing to use very lean cuts of beef (such as stew meat or sirloin steak) for this stroganoff recipe. Even though this recipe cooked in a crock pot, which can be a good choice for tenderizing tougher cuts of beef (as long as it's cooked for a long time), it doesn't work well in this case. I made this gluten free beef stroganoff using lean stew meat, and it just didn't turn out well. It was a little too chewy and nobody liked it much.
Stick with tender cuts of beef that contain some fat and connective tissue for the most tender and creamy beef stroganoff.
My Favorite Slow Cooker
I love my Ninja Foodi! I mainly use it as a slow cooker, but you can also sear, braise, and keep things warm in it. And you can take the pan out and put it in the oven.
The lightweight metal insert is easy to wash by hand or in the dishwasher - not a heavy crock insert like other slow cookers.

Step 1. Cut beef into smaller pieces, about 2 inches. Season with salt and pepper and coat in cornstarch.
Step 2. Add oil to the Ninja Foodi, (or use a large skillet) and brown the beef.
Choose the slow cook setting- high heat for 3 hours, or low heat for 5-6 hours.
Step 4. Combine soup, mustard, broth. Add the soup mixture to the slow cooker and allow it to continue cooking.
Step 5. In a large pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, and cook and stir until sizzling and browned.
Step 6. Mushrooms can be added at any time during the slow cooking process, added at the end, or can be served on the side for those that don't appreciate how good mushrooms are 🙂

FAQs About Beef Stroganoff
Beef stroganoff is easy to freeze, and reheats well in the microwave. Store leftovers in an airtight container that is freezer-safe. When ready to serve, thaw the frozen stroganoff either by using the microwave, or by allowing it to thaw in the refrigerator the day before serving it. Microwave on high heat for 2-3 minutes at a time, stir, and heat longer if needed until it is warmed through.
Classic beef stroganoff is typically not gluten free, because of the wheat based flour that is used as a thickening agent in the sauce.
Adding sour cream before the sauce has finished cooking may make the beef stroganoff runny. Adding too much beef broth can also make the stroganoff sauce thin and runny.
Originally beef stroganoff was served over shoestring potatoes or mashed potatoes. Other pasta shapes are equally as good as egg noodles. We often eat our beef stroganoff over rice, since it is naturally gluten free.
Savory is a type of herb or seasoning. Its flavor can be described as peppery, with notes of sage or thyme, and a hint of mint. The dried or powdered version of savory can be found in jars in the spice section of most local grocery stores.
Jovial brand makes gluten free brown rice egg noodles that are really good. Tagliatelle pasta is a shape similar to wide egg noodles, and several brands make gluten free versions that are made of corn and rice flour. Asian brands make wide rice noodles that go very well with this gluten-free beef stroganoff recipe. You can find these in most major grocery stores in the Asian cuisine section, or if you have an Asian market close to you that would be an ideal place to shop.
