Hi all,

Does anyone have this kind of recipe ?? ... or any of your own yummy beef stroganoff recipes ??


(I don't want to ask him as i feel i have run up my tally of asking for recipes from spanning over 20years of friendship )


TIA for any yummo recipes/suggestions

Well, I don't think it will compare to any chef's but here is now I make mine. This my quick version.

500g beef strips or chicken strips
bag sliced mushy's
Large onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
2 cloves crushed garlic
Couple of dollops tomato paste
Beef or chicken stock
Splash of wosterchire sauce
Enough Gravox to thicken it up a bit
Seasoning to taste
Full fat sour cream (the light stuff curdles - evaporated milk would work at this stage)

Cook garlic and onion in olive oil till soft. Add beef strips cook till browned, add mushy's till cooked.

Add couple of dollops Tomato paste and cook off, add splash of wousterchire and stock (use low salt stock if you can, or just water as wosterchire and gravox both have salt in them). Dissolve gravox in little bit water and add to pan. Season. When simmered for desired amount. Remove from heat, wait until has cooled slightly and stir in sour cream/evap milk to taste.

(Sorry don't have measurements, I just use what looks right)

Edit: Oh, and one of my GF's says she uses a 'recipe base' you can buy where all the sachet type bases are in the supermarket.

I use the packet mix one for slow cookers, I use 2 packets of sauce thought as we like lots of sauce!!

before this I used to still use packet mix with a few added extras.

I actually just cook up the beef with some wosterchire sauce, bbq sauce & mixed herbs to add flavour. Then add fresh mushrooms, one tin of tomato soup & then however much sour cream to your liking. Soooo simple & yummy. Then I serve with fresh egg fettucini.
I do have a recipe that I found in a home mag that uses sweet parprika & red wine etc but more involved. I love my recipe as its always yummy & soooo quick. It's one of our "not muc time to cook tonight" recipes.

[suse]

beef strips - preferably rump or other lean cut suitable for fast cooking
onions - sliced
mushrooms, sliced
garlic
splash of red wine
tomato paste (about 3 tbls)
paprika (about 1-2 tbls, I also add a very small amount of smoked paprika)
black pepper
flour
lemon juice
beef stock
sour cream
finely snipped chives

- Seal beef in very hot pan & remove
- add some oil, reduce heat & gently saute onions & garlic until translucent. Add mushrooms & saute for about a minute.
- increase heat, add red wine & reduce slightly
- Add paprika, pepper & about 1 tbls flour, stir through
- add tomato paste & lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon). Sauce will thicken.
- return beef to pan (including any juices. If sauce is over thick, add a little beef stock to thin out.
- Simmer until beef is just tender (about five minutes).
- add a good whack of sour cream, stir through then serve topped with chives, preferably with buttered poppy seed noodles

Can also be done in slow cooker with cuts suitable for slow cooking - saute beef first, then add to slow cooker with sauce, saute onions & mushrooms separately then add to slow cooker 1/2 before end of cooking. You may need to adjust sauce quantities a bit though.
