EDC Beef Stroganoff Review

[Georgie]

Yes, I did have a lot of extra sauce! Thought of adding more veg next time, maybe some red capsicum. I'm a cheapskate and like to bulk out with stuff other than meat 

[Moonmobile]

I made this last night and it was delicious! I think the paprika and cayenne add a certain something so I will continue to use those.

I like the extra additions people have suggested. Some bacon would be great for example. I will also try it without the sour cream to see what that is like in the interests of less dairy. I will also try making it with chicken.

Good point about the large amount of sauce too. I have some leftovers and will be bulking out with vegetables to make full use of the sauce.

I served it with mixed steamed vegetables - cauliflower, broccoli, snow peas and with brown rice which worked very well.

I couldn't believe how quick and easy this was in the thermomix!

A definite "make again" from the wife and kids!

Used yoghurt instead of sour cream to keep the fat down. Also used skirt sliced thinly across the grain to keep it tender.

Very easy and tasty, though not really what I'd call a traditional Stroganoff; more just beef and mushrooms.

I served it with a large amount of rustic mashed pototoe to soak up the excess sauce. I was thinking about adding extras to it next time but on balance think I'll keep it as it is. It would also be great with fettucine due to the extra sauce.

Good use for skirt steak - great to see you using it.  But yes it does need to be sliced thinly and that takes time  Sometimes I am just too lazy.  But if you butterfly them too they make good breakfast steaks.  the french love using skirt steak.

Also used a real lot in Asian cooking. In fact I find the best/easiest place to locate it is my local Asian butchery. It's a good tasty cut and cheap to boot!

Also helps to have it partially frozen to get it sliced thinly. I did it about 6mm thick for this recipe but about 2mm for stir-frys.

2mm - now that is hard work !!! Definitely would benefit from being partially frozen. It may be like pork belly soon as people realise how tasty & cheap it is. 

[tonydav]

Don't say that! It's one of my other favourite cuts. My twice cooked BBQ pork belly is awesome (if I do say so myself  ) and always a huge hit at parties.

My children didn't like the Cayenne flavour either.  Will leave it out next time.

Both of my sons love this recipe - even my fussy one!   Have made it about 4 times now and they ask for it every week!  Normally on a Wednesday after footy training!   I agree that there is a lot of extra sauce - I may also try using extra meat and maybe also adding some veg - however the fussy one might not eat it then?

 Made this last week and this time I doubled the mushrooms and (I think) double the meat - or 1 ¹/₂ times the meat and also add more cornflour (3 tablespoons)  on top of my previous tweaks. This was beautiful, thick, creamy and lots lol

Made this tonight for dinner.  I put 700g meat, double mushrooms, handful or so of broccoli, and a small red capsicum...  I cooked it for an extra 10 minutes.  It was delicious over a bed of mashed potato - and a glass of red!!!!

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

I made this with Faffa's tweaks (and a few of my own  ) and it was DIVINE!!! So much better than the original.  My husband is still talking about how amazing it was.  I posted the tweaked version on my blog here.

[WAThermoFamily]

Dont do the accidental tweak that I did when I first made this.  Accidentally added a heaped teaspoon of dh's hottest chili powder thinking it was paprika   Then to make matters worse dh added extra chilli on his. 

[judydawn]

Oh no WATF, was it still edible

[Carrie]

I love this recipe, although I do it a little different.

I make the sauce up in the TMX in the morning then chuck it on top of the meat in the slow cooker.

We're having it for dinner tonight.
