Beef Stroganoff

Submitted by Sherrie-pie

"This seems to be a bit different from the other recipes - doesn't use consomme etc. It does use brandy. Beef Stroganoff relies on the quality of the steak. My husband's favourite dish. From Checkers Cookery Collection."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 15 g butter
• 1 onion, sliced
• 225 g button mushrooms, sliced
• 750 g steak fillets, cut into thin strips
• salt and pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons brandy
• 150 ml sour cream
• parsley, to garnish

directions

1. Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onion and fry gently for 7 minutes or until golden. Add the mushrooms and fry for a further 3 minutes until softened. Add the steak to the pan, season well and stir in the mustard. Fry, turning often, for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the brandy and soured cream and heat through gently; do not allow to boil. Transfer to a heated serving dish.
3. Note: It is important not to use a large enough pan or to cook the meat in batches. You want the steak to fry, not stew!
