1. Buttered Egg Noodles

You’ve probably seen beef stroganoff served atop a bed of buttered egg noodles because it is the most common dish paired with stroganoff in the states. The tender chunks of beef, mushrooms, and smooth sour cream sauce go perfectly with pasta!

Egg noodles can be wide and flat or twisted, either way, they are the perfect vehicle to carry the delicious stroganoff right to your mouth! (And who doesn’t love pasta!?)

The buttery texture and size of egg noodles make it preferable to other pasta options, not that it wouldn’t still be delicious regardless of your noodle choice.

Buttered Noodles
Buttered noodles are a Southern favorite that the whole family can enjoy with practically any dinner or meal. Egg noodles coated in butter. Perfectly seasoned to make a versatile pasta side dish that everyone will love.

2. Rice

Not only is white rice quick and simple to make, but it is the perfect base for your creamy beef stroganoff. The rice soaks up all that delicious sauce and makes every bite the perfect bite! My favorite and easiest method is making basmati rice or jasmine rice in the instant pot!

If you end up refrigerating leftovers, the rice is even better the next day after it has had time to really absorb all the tasty sauce!

Instant Pot Basmati Rice
This Instant Pot basmati rice is the easiest way ever to turn out perfect, fluffy basmati rice each and every time! A quick cold water rinse and a few minutes of cooking are all it takes to have your rice ready to serve! It's perfect for meal prepping, too!

3. Mashed Potatoes

I haven’t met a single person that does not love mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes are a tasty comfort food all on their own, so covering them in beef stroganoff will really make your dinner out-of-this-world delicious!

We know mashed potatoes go well with sauce (I mean gravy is a sauce, right?) and we know it pairs well with beef because it’s served at every steakhouse that’s ever existed. Stroganoff is just a combination of all our favorite things to eat with mashed potatoes!

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Roasted garlic mashed potatoes are smooth and fluffy with a rich garlic flavor from incorporating oven-roasted garlic! These mashed potatoes are so creamy and rich that you won't even need gravy. They're sure to become your new go-to favorite mashed potato recipe!

4. Roasted Potatoes

If you prefer your potatoes on the crispy side, pair your beef stroganoff with some oven-roasted potatoes! Cut into perfect bite-sized pieces, roasted potatoes are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.

I generally serve my roasted potatoes to the side of the beef stroganoff, but hey- if a little sauce gets on them no one will be complaining.  Plus, they are super easy to make and very filling!

Oven Roasted Potatoes
These oven-roasted potatoes are delightfully crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth fluffy and tender inside! Not to mention, they're super versatile! From adding your favorite seasoning and herbs to pairing them with different proteins to round out an amazing family meal!

5. Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Probably not the first thing you would think to pair with beef stroganoff but trust me, they are truly delicious together. Roasting the brussel sprouts caramelizes them while retaining that satisfying crunch that perfectly contrasts the tender beef in the stroganoff.

Roasted brussel sprouts are a great option if you are carb-conscious or looking to work in some greens! You won’t even miss the carbs because brussel sprouts are just as filling. Also, you can use frozen brussels if you want to make dinner time even easier.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts
These tasty Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts are super easy to make! They’re also equally suitable for an anytime weeknight dinner, holiday meals, and special occasions! Fresh or frozen brussels sprouts are baked to crispy, caramelized perfection that retains their wonderfully nutty flavor too!

6. Garlic Bread

Nothing beats sopping up a delicious sauce with your favorite bread. My favorite bread to serve at home is my air-fryer garlic bread because it’s so super easy and can be whipped up in a few minutes!

Because the garlic bread is delightfully crispy, it won’t get soggy right away. That means you can spoon some of your beef stroganoff on top and eat it like a half-sandwich! Or wait until the end of your meal and use your bread so soak up every drop of sauce.

Air Fryer Garlic Bread
This air fryer garlic bread is a quick and easy side dish that's incredibly tasty, perfectly crispy, and ready to serve in just 10 minutes! All you have to do is make garlic butter to spread over your sliced bread; then the air fryer takes over! Serve it with your favorite main dishes and watch how quickly it disappears!

7. Baked Sweet Potato

Baked Sweet Potatoes are healthier than normal potatoes, making them the perfect accompaniment for your beef stroganoff if you want something just a tad less heavy. The slight sweetness of a baked sweet potato with melted butter cuts the savory, creamy flavor of the stroganoff.

Baked sweet potatoes are filled with fiber and healthy carbs so you don’t have to feel bad eating them even though you’ll feel like you’re splurging.

Also, hear me out, I like the beef stroganoff sauce on my sweet potato and my family agrees! Give it a try yourself!

Baked Sweet Potatoes
Baked sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that bakes to fluffy perfection in your oven! Serve them sweet or savory—it’s up to you! However you decide to make them, they’re certain to be amazing!

8. Side Salad

Serve a tasty side salad alongside your beef stroganoff. Salads are so customizable; you can make yours exactly how you want it. Better yet, offer up the salad toppings and let everyone make their own just how they like it!

A house salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese, and croutons is easy to make in a jiffy and it goes with practically any dressing. Alternatively, you could make a large Caesar salad and let everyone serve themselves!

9. Steamed Cauliflower

A fuss-free way to make cauliflower that is both crisp and tender, microwaving will cut down your cook time while still producing the same great results. Cauliflower is so versatile and mild-flavored it can go with any dish.

Steamed cauliflower only needs a little butter, salt, and pepper to be utterly delicious. Serve it to the side of your stroganoff or ladle your stroganoff on top. Either way, it will add a tasty textural element much healthier than noodles or potatoes!

Microwave Cauliflower
Perfect, tasty, and tender microwave cauliflower is the best way to steam your fresh cauliflower any night of the week! This no-fuss method takes just minutes to serve up delightfully tender-crisp cauliflower as a side to any family meal!

10. Sauteed Broccolini

Sauteed broccolini with a little citrus and parmesan cheese truly compliments the savory elements of beef stroganoff. This broccolini is so simple to make and is arguably more impressive than its regular counterpart.

A few minutes of cooking and a little light seasoning is all it takes to prepare a side dish worthy of some of the fanciest restaurants. If you see some broccolini at your grocery store, snag a bunch and give it a try!

Sauteed Broccolini
Sauteed broccolini is a vegetable side dish that is easy to make. Everyone in the family will love to have with dinner! The tasty, tender veggie can be hard to find in stores but is totally worth grabbing every bunch on the shelves when you do find it!

11. Cabbage

Cabbage is present in many Russian dishes and this crockpot cabbage is my favorite method to use because you can make it early in the day and forget about it until dinner. Just a few ingredients and time is all you need.

In this recipe butter and bacon meld with the cabbage to make a side dish so savory you’ll forget it’s a vegetable at all.  You might want to make extra, because in my house we always come back for seconds.

Crockpot Cabbage
This Crockpot cabbage combines tender cabbage, bacon, onion, garlic, and broth, all cooked to perfection in your slow cooker! That tasty comfort food flavor that you grew up enjoying at your Grandma's house comes alive in this simple cabbage recipe! With just a few simple ingredients and light prep work, you'll have a tasty vegetable side dish that even your kids will like!
Check out this recipe

12. Lemon Asparagus Orzo

Lemon asparagus orzo combines pasta and asparagus with the bright flavor of lemon that perfectly contrasts the savory beef stroganoff. It is a great dish when you are aiming for a well-rounded meal of meat, veg, and carbs.

Because of the contrasting flavors, I would serve this to the side of your stroganoff. The citrusy flavor of the orzo will cleanse your palate before another bite of savory stroganoff.

Lemon Asparagus Orzo
This delicious Lemon Asparagus Orzo combines tender pieces of lightly cooked asparagus with fine orzo pasta in a tangy lemon garlic sauce! Every bite is a refreshingly light flavor combination that pairs especially well with chicken or seafood dinners!

13. Parmesan Risotto

This is one of the most requested recipes at my house by far. Parmesan Risotto is often considered gourmet as it is served at many top tier restaurants and is famously used by many TV chef personalities (I’m talking to you, Gordon Ramsay).

Surprisingly, parmesan risotto is super easy to make! It consists of a lot of stirring and monitoring, but that’s the hardest part. The rich, creamy results make all the mixing and waiting worth it.

Parmesan Risotto
This Parmesan risotto is super rich, creamy, and a fantastic base for making a variety of wonderful risotto dishes! It tastes sophisticated and gourmet, but is easy to make! In fact, it is the perfect side dish for any meal and will easily impress all of your guests!

14. Roasted Vegetable Medley

A roasted vegetable medley goes with any main dish and beef stroganoff is no exception.  Roasted veggies become tender and flavorful while they caramelize in the oven.

I use a combination of brussel sprouts, parsnips, carrots, and beets that provide an appetizing array of colors and textures.  Other than that, you only need a little seasoning and some olive oil to make a veggie-filled side dish even the kids will love.

Roasted Vegetable Medley
This roasted vegetable medley is the perfect easy and delicious vegetable side dish for your chicken, pork, or beef dinners! The colorful assortment of veggies can be cooked until tender or crispy and caramelized. Whichever way you like them best!

15. Chocolate Pecan Slab Pie Bars

After you’re done savoring the hearty flavors of your beef stroganoff, enjoy a little something sweet! These chocolate pecan slab pie bars combine a cream cheese pie crust, pecans, and a chewy chocolate filling.  

They take a little time to make but trust me, the end result is worth it. After a stroganoff dinner and a few of these bars, everyone will be leaving the table happy and completely satisfied!

Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars
These chocolate pecan pie bars are a wildly popular and delicious treat whenever and wherever they are served! There is no way to go wrong when you have a delightful cream cheese pie crust topped with chewy, chocolate filling and crunchy pecans! It doesn't matter what the occasion is to make a batch of such a fantastic dessert!

    All of those suggestions for stroganoff sound delicious but you left out the traditional side which is just perfect ... thin french fries. Every time I've seen chefs cook it they have made a point of saying it's eaten with french fries or matchstick fries.
