FAQs
Can I use a different type of meat?
Yes, you can use chicken or pork as a substitute for beef. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Can I freeze Beef Stroganoff?
It’s best not to freeze it because sour cream may alter in texture once thawed. However, you can freeze the meat and sauce without the sour cream, then stir in the sour cream when you reheat it.
How can I make Beef Stroganoff spicier?
