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.
