Description
This hearty Beef Stroganoff recipe is a cherished specialty of my dad’s, influenced by our Minnesota roots where we prefer it over wild rice instead of the traditional egg noodles. The dish combines tender sirloin cubes in a rich, creamy sauce with the earthy flavors of mushrooms and the subtle sweetness of caramelized onions. Perfect for a comforting family meal!
