As someone who does not like the taste (or texture) of mushrooms, I needed a beef stroganoff without mushrooms recipe. Most recipes call for cream of mushroom soup so I needed to create my own recipe without the mushrooms.
Once I figured out how to make beef stroganoff without mushrooms, I realized I could do the same for salisbury steak and shepherd’s pie.
If you love mushrooms and want to include them in the recipe, you can slice fresh mushrooms and add them to the pan while cooking the steak.
Of you want to make your life easier, add a small can of sliced mushrooms to the pan while cooking the steak.
Beef Stroganoff without Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- 2 pounds sirloin tip cut into thin slices (I use top round cut into thin strips)
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1 16 ounce container sour cream (do not use fat free)
Instructions
- Slice steak into thin strips, and chop onion.
- Melt butter in skillet (or wok).
- Add beef and cook until brown.
- About 3 minutes after starting the beef add onion, salt, pepper, and garlic.
- When the beef is browned turn down the heat and add sour cream.
- Do not let the sour cream boil, just heat through and serve over noodles.
Notes
What’s funny about this recipe is that I posted about not liking mushrooms on Instagram and y’all went crazy. Apparently there’s a lot of people who don’t mind mushrooms.
Personally I love this beef stroganoff without mushrooms recipe. However more importantly I love that it doesn’t contain soup. I’m trying to eat less salt and most canned foods contain much more salt than I’d normally use in a recipe.
No judgement here if you need to use a can of soup to get dinner on the table. Whatever works for you!
Beef Stroganoff without Mushrooms Freezer Meal Directions
This recipe is not my favorite freezer meal because sometimes the sour cream will separate when reheating. If this happens add a little extra sour cream while you are warming it up on the stove top.
Follow the recipe above except do not cook the noodles. Place the meat and sour cream sauce in a freezer bag. (Don’t forget to label your bag!)
To reheat, let the meat and sauce thaw completely overnight. While the noodles are boiling, reheat the meat and sauce slowly in a sauce pan on the stove.

I like to also add about a Tbl of Worchestershire sauce.

That looks awesome… and easy. And those are two things I really like. Plus dh will love that there aren’t any mushrooms. 🙂 Thanks for sharing this!

To make it less expensive you could use ground beef instead of the steak. We make it the same way but sometimes add Lipton Onion Soup Mix to give it a little extra flavor.

This sounds easy and cheap. My husband doesn’t like mushrooms so this is such a relief. And he can have left overs too. I like how you took pictures too. Thank you!

What a great dinner! My whole family ate even my seven year old. I paired it with steamed veggies for a very inexpensive meal. Thank you. 🙂

So glad that you posted this! My bride of four months also does not like mushrooms, as well as my stepdaughter…So this is definitely the way to go! (I will add the Worchestshire sauce as well)!

Sounds like a fabulous recipe. My hubby and I are not big fans of mushrooms so we love that your recipe omits that ingredient. Thank you. I am going to make it tonight for dinner.

The sour cream made it a bit too tangy for my husband, next time I’ll be cutting it with half heavy cream, see how that tastes. Otherwise it went well with steamed veges on the side.
Adam says
Excellent recommendation. I will be doing the same. Thank you.
