EASY STROGANOFF RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic, then finely grate the lemon zest. Clean and tear the mushrooms. Pick and finely chop the parsley.
  2. Place the beef between 2 sheets of clingfilm. Bash with a rolling pin until ½ cm thick, then cut into finger-width slices.
  3. Mix the paprika, lemon zest, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper together, and use to dust the beef.
  4. In a large frying pan over a medium-low heat, fry the onion and garlic in a little oil until softened. Turn up the heat and add the mushrooms and butter, sautéing until the mushrooms are golden brown, then tip onto a plate Add a little oil to the pan and fry the beef for 2 minutes, turning, until browned but still pink inside. Stir in the mushroom-onion mixture, add the brandy and reduce for 1 minute or until almost disappeared. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream and parsley. Delicious serve with bread and gherkins.

Steps:

• Heat a knob of butter in a large, deep frying pan. Once it’s bubbling, add the steak strips and fry until just browned but not cooked through. Use tongs to transfer them to a plate.
• Add another knob of butter to the pan, add the onions, then cook gently, stirring regularly, for about 15 minutes until softened and caramelised. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onions to the plate with the steak.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 5-6 minutes until golden and just cooked through. Add 2 tbsp brandy and bubble over the heat to reduce.
• Add the soured cream, mustard and stock, then stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer, then let the sauce thicken and reduce slightly. Return the steak and onions with any resting juices to the pan. Scatter over the parsley and serve with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes and seasonal greens – whatever you prefer.
