Notes
Beef stroganoff is a classic dish that can be customized in various ways to suit your taste preferences or dietary restrictions. Here are some variations you might consider:
Turkey Stroganoff: Substitute beef with ground or thinly sliced turkey for a leaner option.
Vegan Stroganoff: Use plant-based protein such as seitan, tofu, or tempeh instead of beef. Replace dairy with vegan alternatives such as coconut milk or cashew cream.
Spicy Stroganoff: Add diced jalapeños, red pepper flakes, or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce for a spicy kick.
Healthy Stroganoff: Use Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream instead of heavy cream to lighten up the dish. Load up on veggies like bell peppers, carrots, and peas for added nutrition.
Potato Stroganoff: Serve the stroganoff over mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes for a comforting twist.
