NOTES:

1. Best cut of beef for stroganoff – use decent to good quality quick cooking cut of beef such as

boneless rib eye (aka scotch fillet

boneless sirloin, sirloin steak tip

beef tenderloi

I don’t recommend: beef round steak (aka topside), skirt, flat iron, hanger.

Pork can also be used – pork stroganoff is found in Russia too

Tenderise ECONOMICAL BEEF – if you do not have a good quality steak, highly recommend tenderising it using this easy Chinese method called “velveting”. It’s life changing! Reader the user feedback in that recipe for validation :

2. Flour – any is fine here, I use plain white flour (all purpose). Or use 1 tbsp cornstarch / cornflour (for Gluten free stroganoff sauce

3. Serving – I like serving this with short pastas, rather than long pastas. Easier to eat. It’s also great with mashed potato, rice, polenta – anything that’s suitable to slop up all that gravy

4. Sauce thickness: You can make sauce thinner with touch of water if you want, but DO NOT keep simmering to thicken once the beef is added, it will overcook the beef

5. Storage – 3 to 4 days in the fridge, also freezes fine. Thaw fully then reheat carefully, being sure not to overcook the beef

6. Nutrition per serving, assuming 5 servings (serves 4 hearty servings or 5 sensible servings), excludes pasta
