There are loads of ways to make a stroganoff. We think the acidity from wine and lemon juice with the creaminess of the crème fraîche and richness of the butter, steak and stock makes this a beef stroganoff to remember.
Cook it like we do; quickly in a pan, or if you’ve got time for low and slow, place all the ingredients in a slow cooker and just add the crème fraîche before serving. Either way it’ll be great!
One thing to bear in mind if you are using a slow cooker is to increase the amount of lemon juice and skip the wine. Slow cookers don’t reach the same temperatures as cooking on a stove so you’ll struggle to burn off the alcohol.
Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 285 g rump steak
- 15 g plain flour
- 250 ml beef stock
- 100 g half fat creme fraiche
- 1 brown onion
- 15 g unsalted butter
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 50 ml white wine
- 200 g mushrooms (preferably chestnut)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- Juice of half a lemon
- Handful of parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mince the garlic, finely slice the mushrooms and onion and slice the steak. Set all aside.
- Cook the onions and garlic in the butter and half of the olive oil for a few minutes in a large pan on medium heat until softened.
- Add the mushrooms and season with the paprika, salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the mushrooms have softened. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Dust the steak in the flour. Turn the heat up to high, add the remaining oil and fry the steak until seared but still pink inside.
- Add the mushroom mixture back in along with the wine and lemon juice and reduce on a medium heat until the liquid has nearly disappeared. Then, add in hot beef stock and cook for a few minutes.
- Remove from the heat, add creme fraiche and serve with parsley and rice or mash.
