A delicious classic with a great presentation. It helps that we adore stroganov and filet mignon is my favorite cut of beef. Thanks, Mom2Rose! Made for Aussie Kiwi Recipe Swap #43.

Loved this recipe.. I love steak and my hubby is very keen on his stroganov so I thought this would be the perfect mix. The recipe did not dissapoint and everyone commmented on how yummy it was.. I cooked 4 very large eye fillets to go with this sauce and it was a hit.. I will definitely be enjoying this again delicious!!!
