GOOD HOUSEKEEPING BEEF STROGANOFF RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl toss the beef with some seasoning. Heat 1/2tbsp oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and brown the beef well all over – do this in batches, adding more oil as needed. Using a slotted spoon, remove browned beef to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain excess away fat. Once all the beef has been browned, transfer to the slow cooker.
• Heat remaining oil in the same pan and fry the shallots and lardons for 6-7min, stirring occasionally, until golden, then add the garlic and cook for a further min. Stir flour into the pan, making sure everything is evenly coated. Scrape mixture into the slow cooker, then add the wine, stock, carrots and some seasoning and stir together.
• Tie the bay leaves, thyme and parsley in a bundle with kitchen string and add to slow cooker, making sure it is submerged. Cover with lid and cook on low for 7hr, or until the beef is tender.
• Add the button mushrooms and try to make sure they are submerged in the liquid as much as possible. Cover with the lid and continue to cook for 45min-1hr. Remove and discard herb bundle and check seasoning. Sprinkle with extra chopped parsley, if you like, and serve with mashed potato.
