![]() There are some recipes that remind me of my childhood, and I know this one was a staple because it wasn't expensive. You could make it with lesser cuts of meat it didn't matter. But there's something about that gravy and the egg noddle that warm my heart and my bones on a chilly fall day. My husband asked me to make it, and it turns out the kids loved (!) it. I love that it's a virtual hug. Oh - and that it is so easy! Prep time was 15 minutes and cook time was 15 minutes. That's perfect for a weeknight meal. The recipe I liked the most is from Natasha's Kitchen, and she shares a little of the history of the dish as well, which I loved: "Beef Stroganoff was invented in Russia in the early 1800’s. Count Stroganoff was a dignitary in the court of Alexander III. Count Stroganoff’s chef (who was likely French), created the dish and named it after Stroganoff. I found a picture of Count Pavel Stroganoff, but wish I could find the chef as well! The earliest known recorded recipe was published in this Russian cookbook published in 1871."

And - there are 2 critical factors for beef stroganoff: (1) quick searing of high quality beef and (2) the right proportions of sauce ingredients for a balanced sauce that makes the beef really shine. |
AuthorYou can go to grad school, work hard and even get your MBA. But the truth is that regardless of how successful you are at work, or how long your day is - when you get home the only question is what's for dinner. So I am always on the lookout for recipes that won't take more that 30 minutes to prepare, that are flavorful, and that (almost) everyone will eat. I hope these help! Archives
