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!
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 probably 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 ever since then.
The only difference now is I've changed up a few tiny ingredients to keep it totally grain-free and serve it over our favorite grain-free pasta. Don't worry, though; you won't be able to tell the difference because this is the ultimate easy comfort food. Even the pickiest of eaters will be coming back for seconds!

Tips and tricks.
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.
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.
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.
This recipe does call for sour cream, but you can easily sub in a dairy-free alternative to keep this recipe dairy-free
