Beef Stroganoff – A Lovely Mess

Whereas beef stroganoff has origins in Russia (beef stroganov) and was historically made with mustard and bitter cream, this beef stroganoff recipe is what I’d take into account the Midwestern model. For me, it hits the spot with tender items of steak in a creamy sauce, virtually like a stew, served over egg noddles. You may additionally serve this dish over rice or mashed potatoes, however at our home it’s egg noddles all the best way. 🙂

I’d additionally label this as an EASY beef stroganoff recipe. Sure, all caps, it’s actually that straightforward. I take advantage of two cans of Campbell’s soup for this (or no matter model, you get it) so the preparation jogs my memory of many Midwest/Southern casseroles we are inclined to make at our home too. Whereas sure, that is straightforward to make, it’s nonetheless filled with taste, filling, and complete consolation meals.

Boil water and add salt. When prepared, cook dinner the egg noodles in response to the bundle instructions, draining when executed.

Warmth the butter in a big skillet or sauce pan over medium-high warmth. Add the shallot and cook dinner for about 1 minute. Add the meat and brown on all sides. Relying on how you want your steak (medium-rare, medium), you possibly can cook dinner this slightly kind of. I are inclined to cook dinner for 3-4 minutes, which I’d put within the medium-rare vary.

Suggestions and Notes

• I normally use a big ribeye steak for this, however you could possibly additionally use strip steak sirloin, beef tenderloin and even chuck roast.
• As a substitute of a shallot you could possibly use 1/3 of a yellow or white onion.
• Whereas I take advantage of your complete can of beef broth, in order for you the combination to be extra like a thicker gravy slightly than stew, you could possibly use half the can.
• I don’t add extra mushrooms in addition to what’s already within the condensed soup, BUT in case you like loads of mushrooms in your beef stroganoff, you need to use button, portobello or cremini mushrooms and cook dinner them within the pan with the butter and shallot earlier than the steak.
• I all the time serve this over egg noodles, however different noodles like penne would work simply as effectively. Different choices embody gnocchi, mashed potatoes or rice.
• You probably have leftovers, retailer the meat stew half separate from the noodles or no matter else you serve this with. Retailer in an hermetic container within the fridge for as much as three days. Rewarm within the microwave or stovetop.
