BEST EVER RUSSIAN BEEF STROGANOFF



Best Ever Russian Beef Stroganoff image

Being of Norwegian descent, I really don't know how this Russian beef stroganoff came into the family. My grandma has made this recipe for 50 years that I know of and it is truly my favorite. Serve over noodles. For a wintertime comfort food this is the best. I actually like it so much that my wife and I will have this for dinner and the next morning we will eat the leftovers with a couple of eggs on the side for brunch. You can't beat it!

Tips:

  • For the most tender beef stroganoff, use a high-quality cut of beef, such as sirloin or tenderloin. If you can't find a good cut of beef, you can also use flank steak or skirt steak, but it will be a little tougher.
  • Make sure to slice the beef against the grain. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it easier to chew.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when you're cooking the beef. If you do, the meat will steam instead of sear, and it will be tough.
  • Cook the beef in batches if necessary. This will help to ensure that the meat is cooked evenly.
  • Don't overcook the beef. It should be cooked just until it is browned on the outside and pink in the center.
  • Use a good quality sour cream. The sour cream will help to thicken the sauce and give it a rich flavor.
  • Add the sour cream at the end of the cooking process. If you add it too early, it will curdle.
  • Serve the beef stroganoff over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Beef stroganoff is a classic Russian dish that is enjoyed by people all over the world. It is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make the best beef stroganoff that you've ever tasted.
