What is Mushroom Stroganoff?

Mushroom Stroganoff is a Russian recipe which is actually made using Beef and cooked in a creamy sauce usually made with Sour Cream.

It is known as Beef Stroganoff or Beef Stroganov. Wondering where did Stroganoff gets its name? Know more about it here.

What is Stroganoff Sauce made of?

The Stroganoff Sauce is authentically made using Sour Cream and Beef broth which is usually thickened using Flour. The trademark of a classic Russian Beef Stroganoff is the creamy and velvety sauce.

What does Stroganoff taste like?

Traditional Beef Stroganoff is full of flavours. Theres sautéed onion and mushrooms which lends a slightly sweet taste to the sauce. Top that with the tangy taste of Sour Cream which makes this Stroganoff sauce slightly sweet, slightly tangy and incredibly creamy!

Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff Key Ingredients

In the Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff, Mushroom of course as the name suggest is the hero of the dish.

Mushroom is one such veggie which I love to use a lot. Its hearty, full of proteins and a perfect alternative to other high protein meat.

Know more about the Health Benefits of Mushrooms here.

Also I have used Cashew Cream as a replacement of Sour Cream. Cashew Cream is easily made at home.

All I do is soak Cashew Nuts in Almond milk for about a minute and then blend into a smooth puree using a high speed blender to make Cashew Cream.

This vegan mushroom stroganoff recipe gets its rich and creamy texture from cashews and almond milk. Not only healthy, it's quick and easy to prepare.

Enjoy this mushroom stroganoff without the guilt. It's a satisfying, nutritious meal that takes only 30 minutes to make

How to make Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff (Step by Step Instructions)

STEP 1: SAUTE ONION, GARLIC & MUSHROOMS

• Heat Olive Oil in a skillet. Meanwhile Soak Cashew Nuts in warm Plant milk.
• As the oil shimmers, add chopped Onions, Garlic and Mushrooms.
• Saute until they get fragrant for about 2-3 minutes.

STEP 2: ADD DRIED HERBS AND SEASONINGS

• Now, add dried Oregano, Red Pepper Flakes, Thyme & Rosemary.
• Also add Onion & Garlic Powder, Dijon Mustard and Nutritional Yeast
• Toss to combine everything.

STEP 3: MAKE CREAMY STROGANOFF SAUCE

• Blend Cashew Nuts and Almond Milk in a high speed blender. Blend until smooth to make a smooth and lump free Cashew Cream
• Pour this Cashew Cream in the skillet
• Pour Vegetable Broth over it
• Toss to combine. Simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the sauce thickens and gets creamy.
• Garnish with freshly chopped Parsley and serve with rice or pasta.

BONUS tips to thicken the Stroganoff Sauce

Remember that the Stroganoff Sauce will thicken as it gets cooked. If its not thickening, you can add some Cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon Cornstarch + 2 tablespoon water, whisk until smooth) to thicken it.

Hint: I like to cook the Stroganoff Sauce on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This naturally thickens the sauce.

Also as the Stroganoff cools down it automatically thickens.

Make One Pot Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff with Pasta of your choice

You can easily make one Pot Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff with any pasta you love. I prefer to use Penne or Fusili, however there is no such rule as to which pasta you should use.

Also, you just need to toss uncooked Pasta along with all the other ingredients.

Pour Vegetable Broth and cover cook for 10 minutes.

Both the Stroganoff Sauce will get thick and creamy and the Pasta shall get perfectly cooked and al dente in the while.

What you'll get is perfectly cooked Pasta smothered in a creamy Stroganoff Sauce. ummmmm....So good!!!!!!!!!!

Cooking Variations

• Alternative to Cashew Cream: Allergic to Cashews or just cannot find them. Don't worry. Just use any Non Dairy Yogurt as a replacement. I love to use Soy Yogurt or Tofutti's Better than Sour Cream. It works wonderfully. It can be easily found in all grocery stores. You can also replace Cashew Cream with Full Cream Coconut Milk or Vegan Mayonnaise.
• Gluten free Pasta: If you're making One Pot Mushroom Stroganoff, then just use any gluten Free Pasta of your choice. I love to use Corn based Pasta or Chickpea Pasta as they tend to hold the sauce better and taste incredibly flavourful.
• Additional Flavours: Want to make Mushroom Stroganoff even more flavourful? Try adding some Smoked Paprika. The smokiness of this will truly make the Stroganoff taste just like an authentic Russian one. Also, add a generous squirt of lemon juice just before serving. It truly brings out the flavours.

Crockpot Mushroom Stroganoff

If you're just tired and cannot stand and cook this recipe, then just saute onion, garlic and mushrooms for about 2-3 minutes and dump it in the Crockpot along with all the other ingredients.

Cover and slow cook for 3-4 hours on low or on 2 hours on high. Sit back and relax and let your Crockpot do the cooking.

You can even toss in some uncooked Pasta and let it all cook together. By the time this Slow Cooker Mushroom Stroganoff will be done, you will have the pasta cooked to perfection, smothered in the creamiest Stroganoff sauce!

Garnish with some Lemon Juice and chopped Parsley and serve!

Storage

You can easily store Mushroom Stroganoff in the refrigerator for upto a week. You can even freeze this for three months.

Just thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or in a deep dish skillet with a splash of plant milk.

Adding some Plant Milk while reheating, makes the sauce creamy and delicious!

Bonus Tips

• Want it even meatier than Mushrooms? Then replace with faux plant based Ground Beef. Cook it along with Onions and Garlic as you would do with Mushrooms.
• Want it even Creamy? Stir in some Cashew Butter or Almond Butter along with Cashew Cream. It will make the Stroganoff Sauce incredibly delicious and creamy!
• Add full fat Coconut Cream instead of Vegetable Broth for more Creamy flavors.
• You can use Vegan Sour Cream as a replacement for Cashew Cream. Vegan Cashew Cream is nut free Sour Cream. You can go for any brand you love but I personally love Tofutti's Better than Sour Cream.
• You can use Vegan Mayonnaise instead of Cashew Cream as well.
• You can use Herb Nutritional Yeast for more flavors.
