About Beef stroganoff

Beef stroganoff is a Russian dish of sautéed beef strips or pieces in a sour-cream sauce. The earliest recipe made the sauce from a flour roux, mustard and broth; onions, mushrooms and tomato came later and are now common. It is usually served with potato straws, rice or egg noodles, but the figures on this page cover the meat and sauce only.

Also known as boeuf stroganoff or stroganoff.

What changes the numbers

  • Richness of the sauce. This page uses 145 kcal per 100 g. The USDA survey recipe (lean sirloin, condensed cream of mushroom soup, sour cream) is close at about 150 kcal and 9.3 g fat per 100 g; the Norwegian food table's recipe of beef, onion, tomato puree and sour cream reaches 242 kcal and 18.4 g fat per 100 g.[2]
  • Full-fat or reduced-fat sour cream. Regular sour cream has 198 kcal per 100 g and reduced-fat sour cream 135 kcal per 100 g. Swapping it lowers the sauce's calories without changing the beef.[4]
  • Noodles mixed in. In USDA's figures, stroganoff mixed with noodles has about 129 kcal and 9 g carbs per 100 g, against 150 kcal and 6 g carbs per 100 g for meat and sauce alone. The noodle version has fewer calories per gram but more carbs, so log it as a separate food.[3]
  • Beef cut and browning fat. The USDA survey recipe uses lean top sirloin browned in vegetable oil. Fattier cuts, ground beef or plenty of butter left in the sauce make it fattier and higher in calories.[6]

How to log it

Weigh the meat and sauce without the noodles, rice or potatoes, and log the side on its own. For a home batch, weigh the finished pan and divide by the number of portions, as sour cream and fat amounts vary.

How to calculate calories in Beef stroganoff

Multiply the calories per 100 g by your portion weight, then divide by 100. For the reference 300 g portion, the calculation is:

145 × 300 ÷ 100 ≈ 435 kcal

Reference portion: serving (300 g). This is an example amount, not a recommended portion. Weigh your food when possible: a cup, slice or piece can vary in size.

Check that the entry matches the food you have, including its preparation. If raw or cooked is not specified, check your label or a matching nutrition reference before logging it.
