Beef Stroganoff
Looking to take the chill off on a cold day? Hey We have got you fixed up with a one pot meal, you won’t dirty anymore, what is it- Beef Stroganoff! This isn’t your typical Hamburger Helper from the box, because we are making this from scratch come so come join us!
Chuck Roast
I have seen people do it with sirloin, or anything that might be a little thinner or may even be a little cheaper but I like to use a chuck roast. Now this one is about 2 1/2 lbs. Now remember the Beef Bourguignon recipe where I told you there was a road map on how to separate the individual muscles? This is the same type of deal, where you can follow the white lines to separate the muscle out.
I then like to cut the beef into strips about 1/2- wide. Now all it needs is some seasoning, and y’all know what I’m going to use….Red River Ranch Original. Just toss it in a bowl together to make sure it is all seasoned well.
Brown Up The Meat
Now you don’t want to over crowd the meat, so we will put in a little at a time. We have melted about a table spoon of butter, per batch of meat your browning. You just want to brown it up a little on each side about 3 minutes per side. Not enough to cook it through, but just enough to sear it a little.
Onions and Mushrooms!
Once you have all of the meat browned up nicely, go ahead and remove that and add another table spoon of butter and add one large chopped up onion. Let that sweat for about 3 min. until they get good and tender.
Then add about a pound of thickly sliced mushrooms and as Justin Wilson would say
“I Gawr-on-tee ya thats gonna be good, right there.”
We’re going to let that cook just a minute and then we will add us a 6 cloves of garlic because hmmmm it’s good for you and it will add some flavor.
Wine Time
Guess what I have in my pocket? White wine, a good cooking wine it is. So we will put about a half a cup in there to deglaze some of that goodness off the bottom of the pot there and we will scrape it around really good. Let it come back a simmer and then we will add some more goodness to it.
Thickening Agent
I’m going to also add some beef broth, Worcestershire and flour as a thickening agent. Now you can go ahead and add back in all that sirloin you browned up earlier and let it join the party. Now we will let this simmer for about 40-45 minutes until it gets “Fork Tender”.
Noodles, Noodles, Noodles
Now as this was simmering along, I took a 12 ounce package of Wide Egg Noodles and cooked ’em up al dente. Then I like to add some butter to keep them from sticking together while we wait to put this dish all together.
Don’t Forget the Cream
Right there at the last I add 1 cup of sour cream. You don’t want that to cook long, you are just incorporating that flavor so let is cook just a few minutes, continually stirring so none of that will clabber up. .
Russian Dancing
Now folks, if I can do a Russian dance on this stuff you sure can cook it! This is an easy deal that brings back a lot of classic comfort food memories as a child. Whether a good comfort meal on a nice cold day or just a one pot meal for the family, either way. This is a great go to.
Thank Y’all for stopping by camp. And don’t forget to check out our how to video for more tips!
