What should I serve with beef stroganoff?
You could try creamy polenta, rice, buttered potatoes or a selection of seasonal greens. A slice of good bread and butter would work too, for speed.

This is perfect served with soft polenta and seasonal greens. For a more traditional stroganoff, use hot Hungarian paprika and add some sautéed mushrooms.
