Oh, let me tell you about this beef stroganoff, real tasty-like. Now, we ain’t gonna fuss with fancy stuff. Just need some good ol’ ingredients to make it right. First off, you get yourself some beef stew meat. About two pounds is good, you know, like the chuck roast kind. Cut it into bite-sized pieces, so it’s easy to chew. You also need one onion, diced up small, and three cloves of garlic, minced real fine.
Now, mushrooms are a must! Eight ounces should do, slice ‘em up nice. And here’s where the golden mushroom soup comes in. You see, that’s different from your regular mushroom soup. Golden mushroom soup’s got a bit of tomato in it, makes it all nice and rich-like. It’s kinda like a mix of cream of mushroom and cream of tomato. I like to use that for flavor.
Now, let’s talk about the sauce, ’cause that’s where the magic happens. Stroganoff sauce is made with sour cream and beef broth, thickened up with some flour. You gotta add a bit of mustard too, gives it a kick! And of course, mushrooms go in there as well. The color’s all pale brown and creamy against that deep golden brown beef, looks just lovely on a plate.
- Ingredients:
- 2 lbs beef stew meat
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 can golden mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Alright, now we get to cookin’! First thing, you wanna heat up a pot. Add a little oil in there, get it nice and hot. Then toss in the beef stew meat. Brown it real good on all sides, ‘cause you want that flavor sealed in. Once it’s brown, take it out and set it aside for a minute.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook them till they’re all soft and smellin’ nice. Then, put the beef back in the pot. Pour in that can of golden mushroom soup and the beef broth. Stir it all together, let it simmer for a bit. Oh, the smell is just divine!
After it’s been cookin’ for a while, mix that flour with a little water to make a slurry. Pour it into the pot to thicken it up. Then, add the sliced mushrooms, and don’t forget the mustard. Stir it real good! Let it bubble for about 15-20 minutes, till everything’s cooked through and all those flavors are minglin’ together.
Now, at the end, you wanna stir in the sour cream. This makes it creamy and rich, just like a good stroganoff should be. Make sure it’s all mixed up nice and warm, but don’t boil it too much after you add the sour cream, or it might curdle. Just warm it gently.
Serve this over some egg noodles or rice, whatever you like best. It’s a hearty meal, fills you right up! You can sprinkle a bit of parsley on top if you fancy, but that’s optional. Just sit back and enjoy your beef stroganoff made with golden mushroom soup. Everyone at the table will love it, I promise!
And there you have it, a simple, delicious meal that warms your belly and your heart.
