GERMAN BEEF STROGANOFF



German Beef Stroganoff image

Very similar to the beef stroganoff my mum made when I was little. No cream of mushroom soup here!! I use a good amount of beef broth, and often more sour cream, which makes it very saucy. But hey, I like it that way!

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs stewing beef (I cut mine from eye round)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 (227 g) package sliced mushrooms
3 cups beef broth

3 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup beef broth
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat a large dutch oven, and add olive oil. Brown the beef, in batches if you have to, setting aside in a bowl when browned.
  • In the same dutch oven cook the green pepper and onions for one minute, adding more oil first if necessary. Add the sliced mushrooms, breaking them up of the pieces are too large. Cook for 2-4 minutes, until mushrooms are softened.
  • Add the 3 cups beef broth, worchestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, and salt. Add the beef back into the pot. Broth should cover the beef.
  • Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about an hour until beef is tender.
  • Mix the flour and the 1/2 cup beef broth with a whisk until smooth. Add to the pot and stir until thickened. Add the sour cream, adjusting to taste.

GRANDMA'S BEEF STROGANOFF



Grandma's Beef Stroganoff image

Grandma knew what she was doing when she made this beef stroganoff recipe. The sauce is tangy and savory. Slow cooking the beef in the sauce makes it super tender and it absorbs all the delicious flavors. In the Test Kitchen, we like mushrooms so we used both cream of mushroom soup and mushrooms. Yum! This is an easy stroganoff...

1 can(s) cream mushroom soup or canned mushrooms
1 1/2 c sour cream

  • 2. Once the meat is browned, add sauces and seasoning; ketchup, minced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, (beer or red wine-adds great flavor). Simmer for 1 hr to 1 1/2 hours.
  • 3. Boil egg noodles. Follow box directions. Drain and set aside.

Tips:

  • To make tender and flavorful beef stroganoff, use a good quality cut of beef, such as flank steak or sirloin tip.
  • Slice the beef thinly against the grain for more tender results.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to ensure that the beef and vegetables have enough space to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or Dutch oven, or the beef will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the beef in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  • Use a combination of butter and oil to cook the beef, as this will help to prevent the butter from burning.
  • Season the beef generously with salt and pepper before cooking.
  • Add the mushrooms and onions to the skillet or Dutch oven and cook until they are softened and browned.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is golden brown.
  • Gradually whisk in the beef broth and milk, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  • Serve the beef stroganoff over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
