What is Stroganoff?

If you have never heard of “Stroganoff”, now it is the perfect time to try this vegan meat-less mushroom version! It is a popular Russian dish which is actually just a creamy mushroom sauce that is often served with wide egg noodles or fettuccine pasta. While traditional Beef Stroganoff is made of sautéed meat pieces in a sour cream gravy sauce, I used mushrooms and non-dairy milk to make it vegan.

I think mushrooms are one of the best plant-based meat replacements because they have an amazing meaty texture and delicious flavor. Since they’re able to absorb easily any flavor from the seasonings or sauce they’re cooked in, these veggies can be incredibly tasty and flavorful when you cook them properly.

How to make Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff

This recipe is easy and can be made with only 6 simple basic ingredients in just 20 minutes! (+ seasonings to taste, oil for sautéing and pasta for serving)

Step 1: Cook Pasta

Start to cook your favorite pasta or rice or potatoes or whatever side you‘d like to serve with this creamy mushroom sauce. Regarding the pasta, you can use any variety or make your own egg-less noodles with this easy homemade vegan pasta dough recipe.

Step 2: Sauté Onions, Garlic & Mushrooms

In the meantime, make the creamy vegan mushroom stroganoff sauce. First sauté chopped onion, minced garlic and sliced mushrooms in a large skillet or pan. You can also use leek or shallots instead of regular yellow onion and garlic if you prefer. Regarding mushroom variety, I used brown cremini button mushrooms but you can also use white cremini or wild or shiitake mushrooms or a combination of your favorites.

Step 2: Add the roux mixture

Next, add a roux-like mixture which is basically made of flour or cornstarch, vegetable broth, and soy or tamari sauce. I also like adding mustard and nutritional yeast flakes for cheesy flavor but this is just optional. The flour is necessary to thicken the sauce but you can substitute gluten-free flour or half the amount of cornstarch as needed.

Step 3: Add non-dairy cream

Finally, add the creamy ingredient which makes the vegan mushroom stroganoff sauce rich and even more delicious. I prefer using full-fat coconut milk or soy milk but feel free to use your favorite non-dairy milk or non-dairy cream for a richer sauce. Alternatively, you can prepare a cashew cream by blending soaked cashews or cashew butter with water as mentioned in the recipe notes!

To garnish (optional)

  • Vegan parmesan
  • fresh parsley or thyme

Instructions

Cook Pasta

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain well and set aside. (Toss with a little oil to prevent sticking as needed).

Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff

  • Heatone tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or pan.Add the onions and sauté for 3 minutes, or until slightly browned, stirring occasionally. (*See step-by-step photos + recipe video in the blog post above!)

  • Add the remaining oil along with the garlic and mushrooms, and stir to combine. Continue sautéing for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. Then, add the white wine and stir until incorporated (optional).

  • In a measuring jar, whisk together thevegetablebroth, soy sauce (or tamari sauce), flour (or cornstarch) until smooth. Pour it into the pan, along with the mustard and nutritional yeast if using. Stir in the non-dairy milk until combined. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened to desired consistency. Season with paprika powder, salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Mushrooms: Feel free to use themushroom variety you have available or a combination of your favorites. I suggest to chop or slice them thinly, so it's easier to cook them evenly.
  • Coconut milk: I prefer using full-fat coconut milk or soy milk but you can use your favorite non-dairy milk or non-dairy cream for a richer sauce. Alternatively, make your own cashew cream by blending 3/4 cup of soaked or pre-boiled cashews (100g) with 1 cup of water (240ml) until smooth and creamy.
  • Storage: Leftover mushroom sauce keeps covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or can be frozen. Make sure to store or freeze the sauce separate from the pasta.

What is vegan mushroom? ›

Yes, mushrooms are completely vegan friendly. Even though they're part of the Fungi family and not classified as vegetables, they're entirely plant-based and considered vegan-friendly. Mushrooms can have a 'meaty' texture and are often used as a substitute in recipes because of this quality.

Why add sour cream to recipes? ›

Baking with Sour Cream: The creamy texture of sour cream makes baked goods more moist than if you used milk. This makes sour cream an excellent choice for recipes that are known to have drier results, like sponge cakes.

How do you add sour cream to stroganoff without curdling? ›

Sour cream can curdle if added directly to hot liquid. To prevent curdling, temper the sour cream by stirring a little of the hot liquid into it and then adding the warmed sour cream mixture to the pan. Buttered egg noodles (see below for details of our tasting) are the classic accompaniment to this recipe.

What is a substitute for 1 cup of sour cream? ›

Mayonnaise. Here's an ingredient you probably have on hand: mayonnaise! You can use it as a cup-for-cup replacement for sour cream in most recipes—including baked goods! (Mayo adds a ton of moisture to things like cakes and muffins because it's made from eggs and oil.)

Is mayonnaise a good substitute for sour cream? ›

2. Mayonnaise. While its ingredients vary from other cream-based substances, mayonnaise is a common sour cream substitute due to both its texture and wide availability in most kitchens. It is a perfect 1:1 substitute for baking, where it confers the same amount of moisture as sour cream.

What kind of yogurt replaces sour cream? ›

In most cases, plain yogurt or Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream—and vice versa. Sour cream will give you a similar texture and tanginess, and swapping sour cream for yogurt is a simple 1-to-1 ratio.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream? ›

Full-fat Greek yogurt will offer the closest approximation of sour cream's flavor and texture, and can be used as a one-to-one replacement for sour cream. If you'd like, you can stir some heavy cream into any percentage of Greek yogurt to give it a somewhat richer body and higher fat content.

Does stroganoff contain paprika? ›

Crumble in the stock cube and stir in the paprika and tomato purée. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the beef consommé, mushrooms and mustard. Bring to the boil then lower the heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until the volume of liquid has reduced by half.

Why do Brazilians eat stroganoff? ›

Russian immigrants made their way to Brazil around the 1920s after the revolution, with much of the population descending from Volga Germans who were booted out of the Soviet Union. In an unfamiliar country, stroganoff no doubt cemented itself as comfort food.

Vegan Mushroom Gravy Recipe Ingredients

Is Worcestershire sauce vegan? ›

The only issue is that regular Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies or fish sauce, so it's not vegan. And while you can buy ready made vegan Worcestershire sauce, it's not necessarily all that widely available across the world. Which is why making your own is a great idea.

How to spice up stroganoff? ›

And if you want to make it spicy, you can either use the Mexican flavors (ancho & poblano peppers), or use horseradish. To use so many different things together seems like a “kitchen sink” approach. I would cut down the horseradish to about 2/3 of the original amount.

How do you make beef more flavorful? ›

Beef tastes great when seasoned with oregano, rosemary, sage, garlic or a combination of these seasonings.

What can I add to beef to make it taste better? ›

Garlic, onion, black pepper, and salt are staple spices when flavoring beef. Garlic and onion are potent, pungent aromatics that play well against beef's deep, meaty umami.

How to add rich flavor to beef stew? ›

I almost always add some beef bouillon crystals to my stew, it helps oomph (yes, a technical term) the beefiness of the stock. Sometimes also use a few shots of worcestershire sauce or soy sauce - both will also add some oomph to the flavor.
