Stroganoff

Stroganoff was always a mystery to me but this recipe is so simple and quick to make - only takes about 20 minutes so nice and easy after a fully busy day at work.

Ingredients:

600gm beef (I just use schnitzel)

30grams butter

1 chopped onion

Mushrooms - I like lots in mine so just use as many or as few as you want

3/4 cup of beef stock

2 tablespoon tomato paste

250ml sour cream

1 teaspoon cornflour

Spaghetti pasta or fettucine

Method:

1. Cut / slice up the meat coat with a little oil and add salt and pepper to season. Cook in a few batches (too much for one pan intially)

2. After the meat is cooked and set aside put the butter in the pan then the onion. Cook until the onion is softened then add the mushrooms. Once they are tender add the beef stock and tomato paste.

3. Put the cornflour into the sour cream and add to the onions and mushrooms. Stir to mix and then simmer for a minute.

4. Add the meat to the pan and keep simmering for another couple of minutes or until the meat is heated through.

5. Serve over spaghetti pasta or fettucine ribbons.

When I use schnitzel it does not come to 600grams but this recipe still works fine and is delicious - just extra sauce for the meat. I don't use exact measures when I make this and it is still fine for cooking and eating.
