- Beef Strogonoff was created in the late 19th century for a Russian
- count Strogonoff. It is traditionally prepared with extravagant fillet
- steak, but tenderised steak works just as well.
-
- Ingredients:
- ------------
- 750 g (1.5 pounds) tenderised steak, cut into "fingers"
- 190 ml (3/4 cup) red wine
- 2 onions, sliced
- 30 ml (2 Tbs) butter or margarine
- 5 ml (1 tsp) mixed herbs
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 15 ml (1 Tbs) tomato paste
- 5 ml (1 tsp) salt
- 200 g (1/2 pound) sliced mushrooms, softened in a little butter
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) sour cream
- 15 ml (1 Tbs) each flour and butter mixed together
-
- Method:
- -------
- Marinate the steak overnight in the wine to tenderise it (much cheaper
- than buying expensive fillet steak).
- Next day drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
- Soften the onions in butter with the herbs and garlic.
- Add the meat, tomato paste and marinade, salt and pepper.
- Simmer gently on top of the stove until the meat is tender.
- Add mushrooms and simmer for a further five minutes, then crumble in
- flour and butter to thicken.
- Finally add cream slowly, a spoon at a time, and heat.
- Top with a little extra cream for a party (optional).
- Serves 6.
