This easy gluten-free beef stroganoff recipe will quickly become a family favorite with its juicy beef strips smothered in creamy mushroom gravy and ready in 30 minutes!
This gluten-free beef stroganoff is one of those classic easy family skillet meals. My husband used to talk about beef stroganoff when we were first married and how it was one of his favorite dinners when he was growing up. Hearing that, I decided to make it one night, and he was completely in love and asked me what I did differently to make it so good. I was a little confused because beef stroganoff is a pretty simple recipe. Needless to say, what he was talking about was a version of a hamburger helper, you know, the kind I'm talking about. So when I made it from scratch, of course, it was better. He's asked for me to make it often ever since then.

Ingredient information and substitutions.
- Best kind of steak for beef stroganoff? - You want to make sure to use a good cut and quality of steak for beef stroganoff. I tend to use boneless ribeye or beef sirloin. Beef tenderloin could also be used. If you want to use ground beef, you could as well. Just cook the ground beef in the pan first and drain the excess grease before continuing.
- Ground beef stroganoff. - If you prefer to make this gluten-free beef stroganoff with ground beef, you can. Just cook the ground beef and drain any excess grease before adding the mushrooms and onions.
- Best mushrooms for gluten-free stroganoff? - Any type of mushrooms you like can be used. If you or someone you are cooking for don't usually like mushrooms, I would suggest sticking with white button mushrooms as they are milder in flavor. You could also use crimini mushrooms that are more flavorful but often used interchangeably with the white button. If you want a bolder flavor, you can use portobellos. Whatever you decide, it will still be delicious.
- Worcestershire sauce. - Make sure the brand of Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free. I use the brand Lea and Perrins, which is gluten-free.
- Dairy-free beef stroganoff. - This gluten-free beef stroganoff recipe does contain dairy with a little bit of butter and sour cream. These two ingredients can easily be subbed for dairy-free alternatives to keep this stroganoff recipe dairy-free
Tips and tricks.
Thinly slice the steak. - You want to make sure that your steak is sliced thinly and evenly. To get the need sliced thinly without it tearing, place the meat in the freezer for about 30 minutes before slicing. When it's slightly frozen, it is more solid, and it will make it easier for the beef to slice thinly the way you want it to.

Beef stroganoff FAQ.
Traditional beef stroganoff does contain gluten, usually found in the thickening agents for the sauce as well as the pasta it is served with. To make gluten-free beef stroganoff, make sure that all of the recipe ingredients are, in fact, gluten-free before consuming while on a gluten-free diet.
Beef stroganoff is a Russian dish that is made with a beef sauce that is thickened with flour or corn starch to make a creamy sauce served with beef and usually noodles.
Serving suggestions.
I like to serve beef stroganoff over our favorite Barilla chickpea pasta. It's the one pasta that I have found that holds its shape, has a mild flavor like traditional pasta, and is grain-free. You can use your favorite gluten-free pasta or serve it over mashed potatoes or even rice.
Storing.
Store this gluten-free beef stroganoff in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Reheating: To warm up cold beef stroganoff, I find it works best in a skillet over medium-low heat with a little bit of extra beef stock to help bring the sauce back to life.
