Beef Stroganoff is a classic dish that originated in Russia and has become a beloved comfort food worldwide. Traditionally made with a rich cream sauce, this kosher version uses a pareve alternative, ensuring it’s both delicious and adheres to dietary laws. Perfect for family dinners or a special occasion, this dish is hearty and satisfying. Pair it with fluffy rice or egg noodles for a complete meal.

Tips
Slice the beef thinly across the grain and sear it in batches in a very hot pan so it browns instead of steaming. Add the pareve sour cream off the heat or over low heat so the sauce stays smooth, and don’t let it boil after that.
Kosher Notes
This is a meat (fleishig) recipe. Classic stroganoff uses sour cream, which can’t be cooked with beef, so this version uses pareve sour cream. Check that the pareve sour cream, mustard and beef broth all carry a reliable hechsher. Sirloin comes from the hindquarter, which kosher butchers outside Israel rarely sell, so this recipe uses rib eye or chuck.
Serving and Storage
Serve over egg noodles or rice with a green vegetable. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently over low heat.
