Classic Russian Beef Stroganoff Recipe

Classic Russian Beef Stroganoff

From crainny 16 years ago

Favorite dish in my family, this simple, easy to make beef in creamy sauce will become your favorite, guaranteed!

Cut meat into 1/2 inch steaks, sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides, and beat with the tenderizing mallet until thin.
Cut each steak into thin strips, like for a stir fry
In a large thick-bottom skillet, heat the oil.
Add meat and onions at the same time, and cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring all the time. When you see meat and onion juices reduced in half, add mushrooms (optional), salt, black and lemon pepper, parsley, and Worcestershire sauce, if desired. Cook until juices are reduced to almost nothing, and onions start to brown - for about 7-8 more minutes.
Add the flour, and stir it well, so that all the meat is evenly coated in it. Cook for 2-3 minutes. The meat should start sticking to the skillet.
Reduce the heat to medium and keep stirring.
Add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of water and stir well, scraping the bottom of the skillet
When water starts boiling, reduce heat to low, cook for 2-3 minutes. Add sour cream. Mix well, and cook for another 5-10 minutes on low, constantly stirring. Add water if necessary.
Finally, sprinkle parmesan cheese over the dish, and cover it. Let it simmer covered on low for another 2-3 minutes.
Served best over mashed potatoes or noodles.

Made this last night for dinner It was superb! I served it over fresh pasta that I made as well. Seemed like a lot of onions, but they cook down nicely. Not a fan of mushrooms because of their texture, so I cooked them in a pan with no oil until all the water was cooked out, then added to the pan. The flavor is awesome. This will definitely be made again!!! Thanks! :)
