looking for beef stroganoff

Don't know why ... we're in the middle of an October heat wave, but the idea sounds so good to me. Anyone have a recipe they just LOVE?

Yes, but it's in storage! I have a great russian cookbook but...it's probably buried in the back of the 15 X 15 X 10 unit. I promise that once I have access I'll post it.

We just had this for dinner last night, this is a family recipe of DH's so excuse the lack of organization.

Brown 1lb hamburger
Add diced onion and 4 oz. chopped mushrooms - saute until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are soft
Add paprika and garlic powder (not really measured, just shaken onto the top of the mix) - stir
Add 1 can cream of chicken soup
Simmer until you're ready to serve - add 1 cup sour cream, cook until really hot and then serve on top of egg noodles

Healthy version is low fat soup and no egg egg noodles.

Yum!

I LOVE beef stroganoff - especially the way my parents always made it - with sour cream, onions, and sirloin. I couldn't get in touch with my parents to see exactly how they made it, but I think this is pretty darn close.

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 pounds lean stew beef or beef tips, cut into small pieces or thin strips
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 cup chopped onion, about 1 large onion
4 to 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth or bouillon
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup sour cream

PREPARATION:
Heat butter or margarine in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add meat in about 3 batches, browning each batch quickly. Set aside and keep warm. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5 to 6 minutes, until golden brown. Stir in flour; blend well. Gradually stir in beef broth. Heat until sauce is thick and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Stir in beef. Add salt, pepper and sour cream; heat beef stroganoff through - do not boil. Serve beef stroganoff over rice or noodles.
This beef stroganoff serves 6.

You can also add a little dillweed when you stir in the beef for some fun flavoring!

Traditionally beef stroganoff is thin (about half inch) strips of beef in a sour cream and butter sauce and is served over mashed potatoes or barley. This is how my mom has been making it for years.

about a pound of beef cut into strips
1 large white onion (it needs to be translucent and disappear into the sauce)
2 cups of sour cream (I end up using almost entire container)
3 tablespoons of butter (to fry onions and beef)
mushrooms optional (add with beef below)

Finely chop onion and fry until translucent, add beef and cook until about medium rare. Lower heat to medium-low. Add one cup of sour cream, stir well, season, cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add 1/2 cup when the sauce thickens, cover and simmer another 10 minutes. Repeat. The meat should simmer in sauce for at least half hour, the goal is to get it to soften enough so it can be broken with a fork. Sprinkle with chopped dill on top when serving (or parsley if having jloreine for dinner).
