Hey guys! I'm diving into some beef stroganoff cooking, but I'm feeling a bit uncertain about one thing: does it usually contain cream? I don't want to mess up the dish, and I'm worried I might be missing a key ingredient! Any insights, tips, or advice would be greatly appreciated! Cheers guys!

Yup, it definitely needs cream for the sourness and tanginess which are the signature taste of Beef Stroganoff. If you're aiming for the traditional taste, I suggest you use a sour cream. But for me, I like using heavy cream on mine

Yes, beef stroganoff typically includes cream as one of its key ingredients. The cream is used to create a rich and creamy sauce that coats the beef and mushrooms, giving the dish its signature velvety texture and adding depth of flavor

In my experience, cream is one of the main elements of traditional Beef Stroganoff. This dish's distinctive rich flavor profile and velvety texture are a result of the sauce's creaminess.
