Great-Grandfather's Beef Stroganoff image

My great-grandfather immigrated from Russia in the 1880's. This is the way he always made beef stroganoff and the way my mother, whom he raised, made it. No icky canned soup for us!

I'm a vegetarian, but I made this recipe with tofu instead of beef and it was delicious! The sauce is so flavorful that it doesn't need meat to be satisfying.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a disaster. The sauce was bland and the beef was tough. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

This beef stroganoff recipe is a keeper! The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the beef was tender and juicy. I served it over egg noodles, and it was a hit with my family. 5 stars!
