Beef Stroganoff

To store leftover beef stroganoff, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2-3 months. When reheating, add a splash of beef broth or water to maintain the creamy texture.

Always check labels to ensure all ingredients are gluten-free.

To achieve a creamier texture in your beef stroganoff without adding more sour cream, consider incorporating a splash of heavy cream or cream cheese into the sauce. This will enhance the richness and creaminess of the dish while maintaining its classic flavor.
