Beef Stroganoff was created by a chef working for a Russian general,
Count Pavel Stroganov, in the 1890s. It became popular in the U.S. in
the 1950s from servicemen returning from Europe and China after WWII.
Beef Stroganoff is basically tender strips of beef and mushrooms cooked
in a sour cream sauce and served over noodles, rice, or even French
fries. You will want to make this with a tender cut of beef, such as
tenderloin or top sirloin. For a quick version you can use ground beef
instead of beef strips. You can also easily substitute yogurt for sour
cream and leave out the mushrooms entirely.
Wee Bear and I share a lot of meals when we go out..... yes, we decided we could do this now, as we are older!! We tip more, so the waiter still gets compensated for giving us good service, but, we share! The other night we had Chateaubriand for two, way too much food for us. We were served six slices of tenderloin and we each ate one!! Wee Bear says, "Aren't you going to eat anymore than that?" I said, " No, I can't eat any more! But, I know what to do, we will take it home!" I got an eye roll on that one!! But, here is what I did! Actually, I have made this many, many times over the years, because this is the simplest recipe I have in the stroganoff category.....and I think you will love it! Perfect for a mid week meal!
