What is Beef Stroganoff?
Beef Stroganoff is served in various ways. If you like mushroom you can add it. This dish is generally served over wide or twisted egg noodles in United States. You can served it whatever you want.
Couple years ago three of us went to the one of expensive restaurant in Bandung to tried this dish and of course it’s delicious. So this time we want challenge ourself to cook this homemade beef stroganoff and share the recipe so that you can make this easy and simple dish.
As we know beef stroganoff widely use mushrooms, but we read from an article that the original recipe only use cut of beef. We like the taste and texture from mushroom so we add it on the recipe.
What particular cooking style that we like to make beef stroganoff?
- First, we like the sauce a little bit soupy. For sure we would choose a little soupy beef stroganoff rather than dry beef stroganoff.
- We turn off the heat before we add sour cream, as the sour cream tend to curdling if we use high heat.
- Other recipe use twisted egg noodles or rice for the carb, but we use conchiglie pasta because the shape will hold the sauce when we scoop it.
- We choose sirloin beef steak for the beef. I know it’s a little bit expensive but the taste and the texture will be worth it.
- We seared the beef on a very high heat 30 seconds for every side. Don’t overcook it unless you want tough meat.

We really had a great time making and eating this recipe together so I hope you will have a great time with your family, too.
