Super Speedy Beef Stroganoff (Veronica’s Recipe)
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large sirloin steaks, that have been well hung, trimmed of excess fat and cut into thin strips for quick frying (not cubes!)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 normal sized punnet of mushrooms, sliced
- Some flour
- Paprika
- Basmati rice for 4 people
- A good glug/splash of Brandy
- A small carton of Cream
- An optional squeeze of lemon.
METHOD
This is a recipe from Joey's mum. It's quick & really delicious and will serve 4 people.
- Put a large handful of flour into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of paprika and season with salt & pepper.
- Mix the sliced beef through the flour mix, so that the beef is well coated with flour.
- Gently fry the onions till soft, then add the mushrooms and garlic over a high heat and continue to fry until onions are golden and caramelised.
- Then, remove from the pan and place in a dish and leave to one side (you can prep all of this and leave to one side till you're ready to serve)
- In the same pan, fry off the beef on a medium heat.
- This shouldn't take very long depending on how you like your beef (the rarer the tastier!)
- Add brandy to pan (with beef still in the pan) to deglaze it.
- Then add your cream to the pan and leave for 1 minute to thicken.
- Add back in the mushroom and onion mix.
- Add a squeeze of lemon at the very end if you like (being honest I'm not huge into the lemon, but Joey loves it -she finds it cuts the cream)
- Serve with basmati rice and a bottle of delicious wine (tonight we're having a Portugese wine called Grouse and it's to die for)
