Beef Stroganoff

The best ever beef stroganoff! This is my Mum’s recipe (and my Mum is Russian too!).

Beef Stroganoff – the ultimate comfort food! It’s one of these Russian classics that have been cooked in every Russian home for decades now. It’s basically pieces or strips of beef sauteed and served with a creamy sauce. The original recipe is very simple, and doesn’t come with onions or mushrooms. But with time, many variations of the recipe appeared including beef stroganoff served with rice or pasta.

The version that I’m sharing with you today is my Mum’s version. It comes with mushrooms and onions, cooked in beef bullion, and cream. We usually serve this dish with mashed potatoes (and that’s also my favourite way to eat it). But you can serve this with pasta or rice.

You should try my Chicken Stroganoff recipe too! It’s less traditional but just as delicious.
