Beef Stroganoff
Beef stroganoff takes just 10 to 15 minutes to prepare and in a little over half an hour you can can present a truely delicious meal to meal to your family that any restaurant would be proud to serve. This is for 2 large servings which could feed 2 adults and 2 small kids. I double this up to feed 5 of us. Not for weight watchers
What you need
750 grams aged rump steak
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon paprika
A nice big chunk of butter 60grams or so
2 medium onions finely chopped
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 packet small button mushrooms
juice of half a lemon
splash of red wine (50 ml)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 sour cream (375 ml)
a palm full of chopped chives
The process
Thinly slice the steak against the grain, mix flour and paprika together and coat the steak pieces with the mixture. Its easiest to put it in a bag amd shake it around.
In a saucepan on a medium heat, melt the butter, add the onions and garlic and stir for a few minutes or until the onions are soft.
Increase the heat to maximum and add the steak and brown the meat stirring constantly. Add the mushrooms, lemon juice and wine, stir to mix it all together, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Lastly stir in the tomato paste and sour cream and stir for a minute or 2 until its back up to simmer.
You are done!
Serve over pasta or rice and sprinkle with the chives.

Just a question:
When you add the meat, do you also add the left over flour and paprika mixture?
Glad you enjoyed Morne and thanks for the feedback. Cheers G
This stroganoff is absolutely fantastic. Will definitely make it again!
Sounds great, I’ll give it a go next time.
I like to add about half a teaspoon of dry tarragon and I use a bit of Old Brown sherry instead of wine. But the tarragon gives it an awesome flavor. One must just be careful not to add too much as it is a strong herb.
Cooking is all about experimenting and finding new flavors, hope you enjoy, its certainly one of our favorites.
Hey I make this all the time thanks for pointing out the tomato paste, its something that I have never added to my dish, as well as the lemon juice????, or the sour cream even though my dish tastes fantastic, that Ill have to give this a bash!!!
