Beef stroganoff – an oldie but definitely a goodie!

Beef stroganoff is an old favourite of ours.  I like to use cheap cross cut blade steak so I cook it all for a bit longer at a moderate temperature to get the meat nice and tender.

I cut the steak up into thin strips. I add paprika, cayenne, turmeric and a packet soup (like spring vegetable) – just for its thickening qualities.  And a cup or so of water.

After 45 minutes or so, I added a punnet of sliced button mushrooms, a little porcini powder and a handful of dried pasta (I used penne).  Right at the end of the cooking I stirred in some sour cream.
