Notes

  • When you prepare this type of sauce, it is important to stir from time to time when cooking for two reasons. The first one is that the flour from the sauce can get stuck on the bottom of the pan. The second one is that you are able to feel the consistency of the sauce.
  • If you don’t like pasta or prefer other side dish, go for rice, zucchini noodles, greens, potatoes or even fresh homemade sourdough bread.
  • This classy dish can definitely be accompanied by a glass of wine. All healthy beef recipes go well with red wine. And no red wine is better than the dry or semi dry ones. Choose some pinot noir or merlot. Even a cabernet is perfect. If you don’t like red wine, choose a rose. But don’t go for white wine, this type is not appropriate for red meat.
  • You should also know that other varieties of meat are also suitable for the stroganoff. Turkey, pork or chicken are great alternatives.
  • In case you want to prepare an easy dish, remember that beef stroganoff slow cooker could be the answer.
  • Enjoy!
