At my husband’s request, I’m making a simpler version of beef stroganoff tomorrow night.

I’m planning on serving a beet and apple salad.

What else should I make?

Something vegetable: steamed green beans, or broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower, or a nice salad, with bread, French or sourdough.

Beef Strokinoff? How about a warm wash cloth?

A green salad 🥗 with lots of crunch like cucumbers, carrot curls, celery, maybe some finely chopped onion or radish in it. Stroganoff is very soft so I would want crunch.

What is the starch based side dish, rice, noodles or potatoes?

Keep it simple, don't make too much with the tastes and flavors competing with each other. You're not on Top Chef, serving a twelve-course meal to impress someone you've already locked down.

I've always liked asparagus with stroganoff. Perhaps with a squeeze of lemon to offset the richness of the main dish?

Watercress and cucumber salad would go well with it since it's so heavy.

Since you're already planning a beet/apple salad, OP, I'd suggest whichever green vegetable you like most.

What's a "simpler version" of beef Stroganoff? It's already a pretty simple recipe.

IMO, beet and apple salad doesn't match.

I'd serve BS with egg noodles and call it a day. It already has mushrooms in it (has a vegetable). If you must, I'd serve a cooked green vegetable, like broccoli or peas.
