How to Make Beef Stroganoff

Beef Stroganoff is a wonderful dish that is quite easy to make and quick to prepare. You can substitute left-over roast beef, cut into strips and added after the onions and mushrooms are cooked. If wanted you can omit the tomato sauce.

Ingredients

• 1½ pounds (600 gm) lean sirloin beef steak

• 6 - 8 white button mushrooms, sliced

• 3 medium onions chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups (500 ml) beef stock

• 1½ cups (375 ml) sour cream

• 2 tbsp (30 ml) flour

• 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil

• salt & pepper(for taste)

• pre-cooked fettuccine noodles

Steps

1. Cut away any excess fat from the beef and slice into 1/2" x 2" ( 1 cm x 5 cm) strips across the grain of the meat.
2. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a large frying pan until very hot, add the oil and cook the beef strips quickly - cooking in about three batches so that it fries and doesn't start to stew.
4. Add the onion and continue to cook a few minutes more, then add the garlic and mushrooms.
5. Add the tomato paste and the beef stock, mix well, bring to a boil and continue to simmer.
6. Combine the flour and the sour cream in a small bowl then carefully add this to the pan, stirring well. Do not allow to boil but maintain the temperature until pasta is ready.
