I make a lot of fast and easy meals so that I can take my friends food while they are recovering from having babies. This is one of my go to recipes and I was very happy to drop off containers of this beef stroganoff with some salad today at friends’ homes today.
I love this 5 ingredient beef stroganoff recipe because it is easy to duplicate, tastes good, and microwaves as leftovers well the next day. While this is a very easy recipe for beef stroganoff, I feel it still tastes really good!
Even better, this is the most popular recipe on my blog and has been tasted and tested A LOT. Because of this, I have made some changes to the recipe that reflect feedback. 🙂
ITEMS USED TO MAKE RECIPE
This recipe uses kitchen basics. Beyond that, I recommend the item below:
- (affiliate link) Stainless steel covered stock pot
I bought this stainless steal pot when we first became married with a set of other pots and pans. I believe pots and pans are definitely something worth splurging on so you can have them your whole life! We have now had all of our pots and pans for seven years and they are in such great condition. As an aside, we use all stainless steel or pyrex dishware because we were told that birds can die from the toxic emission; I don’t consider myself crunchy, but whether this is an urban legend or fact, I really love my pet bird.
In the video below, I made everything in the recipe in one pot with this. I used the sauté function.

Notes
This started out as a 5 ingredient recipe, but I ended up tweaking some things and adding milk to the recipe for more moisture! Now it is a 6 ingredient recipe, however, these are all things that should easily be on hand at home.
