What Is The Best Possible Side Dish with Beef Stroganoff
This recipe uses some simple egg noodles cooked right in the Stroganoff sauce to make for a tasty, filling, and appropriate accompaniment to the main meal. However, egg noodles aren’t necessarily the only option available to you.
Some places in Russia and China serve this dish with rice instead of pasta, along with a sprinkling of paprika.
One of the original recipes for this dish actually used crisp potato straws as a side dish, which is still used very commonly in Russia today.
You could even serve it completely on its own, helping to cut down on the carbs. The great thing about this dish is how versatile it is; it works with basically anything!
Do You Need An Instant Pot For This Recipe?
Instant Pots aren’t the most common piece of kitchen equipment, but they, without a doubt the handiest and convenient. This dish is traditionally prepared without any kind of pressurized cooking; it is instead usually made with a long, slow cook to tenderize the beef and get the sauce thickened.
However, this recipe is practically begging to be made in an Instant Pot – it’s only one thing you have to clean, and it gets everything perfectly cooked in only 20 minutes! You can use any other pressure cooker as well for this.
