Momma Betty’s Beef Stroganoff

Beef Stroganoff (Easy Recipe) is a deliciously simple peasant meal.

Beef Stroganoff, a delightful peasant meal

Beef Stroganoff is tangy and creamy.

It’s great for those chilly fall or winter evenings when you need something simple, yet elegant. Don here, telling you about a meal my mom made at least once a month, Beef Stroganoff. This is her recipe. 

It was one dish we all liked. She could start it when she got home from work and it would be ready before we were all ravishingly hungry. One of the pleasures of my youth was helping make this dish. I knew I came of age when she handed me the sharp knife and let me cut the onion.

What You Need

For this recipe, you will need a knife, cutting board, some measuring cups and spoons  and good heavy bottomed pan. Buy the best you can afford. You’re worth it. And you want your tools to last a lifetime. But what you really want is some beautiful dinnerware. Am I right?

Author Recipe Idea Shop/Don Crawford based on Betty Lambdon Crawford's recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound round steak
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup flour (or gluten free flour)
• 1 medium onion (chopped, about 1 cup)
• 1 4-oz can of mushrooms (drained, reserve the liquid)
• 1 pint sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce (or more to taste)
• 6 to 8 drops Tabasco
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 1/2 cup catsup (ketchup)
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional, add if it is too vinegary)

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet.
2. Cut the round steak into bite-sized pieces, coat with flour and brown in the hot oil.
3. Add the onions and mushrooms, reduce heat and cook until the onions are transparent.
4. In the meantime, combine the sour cream, mushroom juice, and the rest of the ingredients.
5. Mix well and pour over the meat in the skillet.
6. Simmer for about an hour.
7. If the sauce becomes too thick, use a little water, white wine or sherry to thin the sauce to the desired consistency. I like it thicker so it sticks to the meat and noodles.
8. Serve on plates with your favorite rice or wide egg noodles.
9. Add a slice of hearty bread and butter and a salad for a wonderful meal.

Recipe Notes

NOTE: If you want to use fresh mushrooms, brown them first in a little butter, then add to the stroganoff. Also, do NOT use stew meat; it is too tough.
