Beef stroganoff is fast and easy. This makes a great midweek dish as it can be made up in about 30 minutes. Believe me, the outcome is incredibly delicious. Serve it up with a nice garden salad and a glass of red wine. Give this a try and let us know what you think.
There are a few basic tips to making this beef stroganoff. You can use any type of noodle you like, but I usually use an extra broad yolkless noodle or an egg noodle. Some people use ground beef in the recipe which is fine. Personally, I prefer beef strips. The texture is so much nicer. Any cut of beef can be used. The golden rule still applies, however: The better the cut, the better the dish. We have tried to keep the recipe basic by adding onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. You can use whatever spices you like, however. I’m trying to be a bit diet conscious, so I only use milk. If you want a thicker, richer beef stroganoff, you can use half and half or heavy cream.
