Beef Stroganoff
Report
With this Beef Stroganoff recipe I aim not to offend any purists, but rather provide a delicious recipe that most of us know by using mushrooms, sliced beef, sour cream and ample cooking time. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients
- 2 kilograms stewing beef rump, chuck or topside are ideal, sliced into 1 x 2cm (0.4-0.8inch) strips
- 185 grams French shallots about 10
- 600 grams mushrooms quartered, swiss brown, buttons or portobellos are ideal
- 35 grams garlic about 6 cloves, chopped
- 1/3 cup brandy
- 2 liters beef stock
- 150 grams butter
- olive oil extra virgin
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 400 grams sour cream
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 bunch fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a non stick pan on high heat saute the mushrooms in 2 batches in 45grams (1.5 oz) of butter until brown and remove to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile flour the beef in batches and shake off the excess flour.
- In the same non stick pan on high heat sear the beef in 3-4 batches in 20g (0.7 oz) of butter and a good splash of extra virgin olive oil and remove to the same bowl as the mushrooms.
- In a large heavy based pot over low heat melt 30g (1oz) of butter and a good splash of olive oil.
- Add the shallots and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for a further 3 minutes.
- Turn the heat up to high and add the brandy.
- Cook for a minute or 2 until almost all the brandy has been cooked off.
- Turn off the heat and add the paprika and tomato paste and stir well.
- Add the beef stock, meat and mushrooms and return to the heat.
- Bring to the boil and reduce to a very low simmer and cook for about 2 hours, or until the meat is very tender. Stir regularly as the sauce will be quite thick and may stick easily. If too thick, a little water can be added.
- Fold through sour cream.
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Transfer to serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
