Beef_Stroganoff

To my children, here is your mother’s ‘Beef Stroganoff’ recipe that you have been enjoying since your childhood. It’s not hard to cook. You don’t need to buy a packet of ready-made Beef Stroganoff seasoning. Make sure you have Sour Cream and good quality Beef Steaks in hand. If you want your ‘Beef Stroganoff’ tastes same as mine, use Massel’s Beef Stock.

  3. Return the Beef to the pan. Add Flour and Paprika and stir for a minute. Then add Beef Stock (OR Water and Beef Stock Cube).
  4. Bring it to the boil. Check the flavour and add Salt if needed. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened. Stir in Sour Cream and it’s done.
  5. Add plenty of Cracked Pepper and serve with freshly cooked rice or pasta.
