Sauté the Mushrooms
The first step to making mushroom stroganoff is to sauté the mushrooms. A common mistake when people sauté mushrooms is that they start cooking them at too high of a temperature and don’t give enough time for moisture to cook off them mushrooms.
Here are a few tips when it comes to sautéing mushrooms.
- Add mushrooms to the pan and make sure you toss the mushrooms in oil and sprinkle them with salt. It is important you don’t skimp on the oil or the salt. The salt helps to draw the moisture out of mushrooms.
- Start sautéing the mushrooms on medium heat, not high heat. You want to slowly sauté at first and then brown the mushrooms on medium high for last few minutes to brown them.
- Try not to push the mushrooms around too much in the pan. Let the mushrooms sit and seep their liquid.
- You’ll know when the mushrooms are ready, when they are still plump, but golden brown.
After the mushrooms are sautéd add the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent.

Once the mushrooms are cooked, it’s time to add in the slurry to create a thick and creamy sauce. To create a slurry for this mushroom stroganoff recipe all you have to do is whisk corn starch into one cup of broth.
Normally for a slurry you add corn starch to a warm liquid, but for this recipe there is no need! Trust us!
Slowly pour the slurry into the pan and stir the mushrooms and the slurry together over medium heat until the broth begins to bubble.
Make the stroganoff sauce
When the slurry thickens slowly add the Greek yogurt, the rest of the broth, and fresh thyme into the pan and mix. The Greek yogurt adds a delicious tartness to the sauce and creams it up to deliciousness!
When the sauce is hot, serve the mushroom stroganoff over noddles.
