BEEF STROGANOFF WITHOUT CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook noodles in a pot of salted water according to package directions, I like to under-cook them a bit so I can mix it with the sauce and let it finish cooking.
• Meanwhile, while the water starts to boil for the noodles, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Melt butter over medium heat and add onions to the pan. Cook 2 - 3 minutes over medium-low heat. Add flour; stir with a wooden spoon for 30 seconds.
• Gradually add broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste, stirring constantly.
• Add mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper; stir and cook 4-5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly.
• Add wine; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 30 seconds.
• Stir in sour cream; add noodles, mix well and garnish with parsley if desired.

Steps:

• In a large deep fry pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the sliced mushrooms, and fry on low to medium heat, until the mushrooms change colour and become soft, this will take about 3-5 minutes.
• When done, transfer the cooked mushrooms and any juice you get from them to a bowl, and put aside for later.
• In the same pan cook the meat in two batches: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil, add quarter of the thinly cut gravy beef and fry until brown all over. Transfer the meat and juices to a plate. Repeat for the remaining meat.
• Add a little more oil (about 1/2 teaspoon) to the fry pan. Add the sliced onions and garlic. Fry for 2 -3 minutes, or until the onions become soft.
• Return all the browned meat and its juices to the pan with the onions. Add the red wine, water and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and stock powder, bring to the boil, cover with a lid, then reduce the heat.
• Allow meat to simmer for about 1 hour, or until the meat is soft and tender.
• Once the meat is tender and soft, stir in the cooked mushrooms, fresh cream, and sour cream to the meat. Gently simmer for about 5 minutes, taste for salt – adding the remaining soy sauce and a little salt if needed. Season with freshly ground pepper.
• If you think the sauce is too thin and would like a thicker sauce, you can mix 2 teaspoons of cornflour with a little water and slowly pour and stir this into the Stroganoff, allow to cook for a minute on medium to low heat until the sauce thickens.
• Serve with pasta, salad, or steamed vegetables.
