I have always liked Beef Stroganoff but have never gotten around to trying to make it on my own. I've know it was simple but just never got around to it. So, as I have time on my hands I made it for my late lunch/early dinner today.

(used light sour cream and the Ronzoni Smart Taste Rotini rather than regular egg noodles)

Rating (out of 5): 4

I think I need to tenderize the meat more before I brown it as it was a little tough. And needed black pepper. But I liked the general flavor and will play with it more in the future.

I use 1/2 cup of white wine, instead of broth. That seems to help with tenderizing, during the simmer phase.

Also, a bit of paprika adds color, and a grating of nutmeg just before serving, adds flavor.

SOmething I tried on a whim that was very yummy - throw the stroganoff onto Wegman's Mushroom pierogies.

I was just wondering what new dish to try this weekend. I thank you for the suggestion, whether you knew you were suggesting it or not.

if you cut the 1/2" steak across the grain into two 1/4" steaks and then cut your strips that will help with the tenderness a tonne.

Also, stroganoff must have julienne pickles in it, by definition ;)

I also find it a light on veggie meal, so tossing in some zucchini or other squash works quite well.
