Great-Grandfather's Beef Stroganoff image

My great-grandfather immigrated from Russia in the 1880's. This is the way he always made beef stroganoff and the way my mother, whom he raised, made it. No icky canned soup for us!

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I served this beef stroganoff over cauliflower rice.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra seasonings, and it was much better.

I've made this recipe several times, and it always turns out great. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of white wine to the sauce.
