EDC Beef Stroganoff Review

[cookie1]

Welcome NickyWA83. What part of WA are you from? Can you make it to our get together tomorrow?

[Thermomixer]

Welcome - you're not the first to make the mistake.  MrsT did the same just recently with a casserole & nearly blew my head off.

Nicky I did that too mixing up the cayenne and the paprika, fortunately I noticed straight away and managed to scoop most of the cayenne out. It was lovely! Think next time I'll do more cayenne, though not sure if the kids would appreciate.

I made this last night using Chelsea's version from her blog with slight adjustments to suit our taste.Left out the cayenne and used hot smoked paprika in its place.Served it with mashed potatoes and green beans.It was very very tasty, DH and DS mopped up the sauce with bread.

Yum - I too used Chelsea's version.  I didn't have any tomato paste , but had a leftover half a tin of tomatoes, so used that instead of the paste and water.  Also added red capsicum and carrot.  I only had Blade steak and was a bit nervous about that.  I sliced it thinly and at the end of cooking it was pretty good.  Even so, I put it in the oven for about an hour, the meat came out melt in you mouth Mmmmmmm everyone loved it!

I tried this tonight as per the version in the EDC book, added some garlic and extra cornflour to thicken it a little more.
Used Rump steak as it was on special and it was MELT IN THE MOUTH!

It was just a bit too paprika-ish for us...
Next time I think I'll double the mushrooms AT LEAST, and add more meat for sure...less paprika too.
We used normal cream instead of sour which might have changed it a bit...
I think I'll also cook the garlic and onion for longer, try to get a bit more flavour out of it.

It's a work in progress for me...nice but not fantastic...

Have you tried my version yet? We like it a lot better than the EDC version.

Agreement from me with last post Chelsea - we often sit down to a Chelsea version of a dish from your blog - thank you for providing such a valuable resource.   

[meganjane]

I still haven't made this! I just can't bring myself to make a meat dish in the Thermomix.

But, since everyone is saying it's so nice, I'll have a go this week.

[Shazzy]

Help Please! I am just about to make this and dont have any wine in the house.  Has anyone else used something different as a substitute? Thanks in advance.  Sharyn

[NomesFog]

You could just use water shazzy, it'll just be missing that little kick...

Haven't tried your version yet chelsea, looks like a winner tho! 
Although I'd still leave out most of the paprika...
I made it again tonight with extra meat mushies only 1 tbs tom paste and NO paprika or cayne...in saying that we mixed last nights efforts with tonights (had to make two batches for a big family dinner tonight) and seeing last nights was too paprika-y for us it evened it out nicely

Thanks NomesFog - in the end that is what I did and it is cooking I type.  I am trying your version Chelsea - it should be delicious!

[Yvette]

MJ this is also delish with chicken

[Shazzy]

It was delicious thanks Chelsea and Faffa.  We all really enjoyed it.  I ended up cooking it for 45 mins and could probably have done another 10 or so minutes and also replaced the wine with water.Do you think it would freeze - we have quite alot left over!

[judydawn]

Would freeze quite OK Shazzy.

I DID!    Absolutely DELISH Chelsea!
You might need to put this on it's own thread, because it might get lost in  here.
Will happily make again thanks.
I did use 750g rump steak (cut accross the grain  in strips, used portabello mushrooms, and just a small pinch of cayenne.
We really loved the flavours, with a tiny kick, and the meat was tender
