Abstract

Beef stroganoff to a Russian is like a carbonara to an Italian. Something we just whip up without a recipe in little time using very few ingredients. The outcome is always the same – immediate bliss followed by a food coma. And if you follow a few simple rules, you will make the best stroganoff around. First off, beef quality is paramount; avoid stewing beef and buy the best steak you can afford (you only need 500 grams). If steak is too expensive, buy more affordable pork loin. Really, many Russian cooks make stroganoff with pork. Then, use a heavy-based pan and avoid non-stick. You want the meat to get coated in brown bits that get released into the sauce; that’s where the wonderfully complex flavour comes from. Lastly, dill pickles and mashed potatoes make stroganoff the best dinner ever! Don’t even think about serving it with egg noodles. So wrong.
