Another of my favorites is Beef Stroganoff. I got this recipe from a German friend while we were living in Wiesbaden, West Germany, 1967-1970, so it is an authentic German recipe. I have searched for other stroganoff recipes, but haven’t found any that look to be as good as this one.
One thing I learned very early on in our relationship – is that Fred doesn’t like ANY condiments! I mean….no mayo, mustard, ketchup, vinegar, pickles, olives…you get the picture. So, since this recipe calls for sour cream (another thing he won’t eat), I make up the entire batch, then set some out into a separate dish for Fred, then add the sour cream to the rest of it, for me. As he likes to say – “just leaves more for you!” That works for me!
As with my recipe for Beef Tips, I again get a steak and cut it into chunks, as I don’t like stew meat.
If you aren’t a person who likes fresh mushrooms – this recipe might not be for you. You could try it without the mushrooms…but they really add to the flavor!
Here’s the recipe.
BEEF STROGANOFF
1 lb. beef (steak) cut in 1” cubes (sirloin is best)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp flour
Cream of Mushroom soup – undiluted – 1 10.5 oz. can
2 small onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
¼ cup real butter
8 oz. sour cream
Sauté onions, garlic and mushrooms in butter. Drain and remove to a plate.
Brown meat in vegetable juices. Add salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over meat and cook about five (5) minutes. Add Cream of Mushroom soup and stir well. Return onion/garlic/mushroom mix to skillet, and mix together. Cook about 10 minutes longer. Add sour cream, stirring in completely. Sprinkle ground nutmeg and dried parsley flakes over mixture
Heat thoroughly.
Serve over egg noodles.
