BEEF STROGANOFF

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 1 kg blade steak

  • 1-2 tablespoons flour

  • 60 grams shortening

  • 1 large onion

  • 425 gram tin peeled tomatoes

  • 230 grams mushrooms or 2 tins 130 gram sliced mushrooms in butter

  • 300 mls (11⁄4 cups) water

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1 dessertspoon vinegar

  • salt and pepper

  • nutmeg

Method:

Cut meat into finger lengths. Beat each piece flat with a mallet. Roll in flour seasoned with pepper. Melt half of the shortening in a pan, add onion, cook until golden. Remove from fire. Add steak, saute for 5 minutes, turning pieces so all are evenly browned. Remove and keep warm. If using fresh mushrooms, melt remainder of shortening, add mushrooms and saute lightly. Return meat to pan, add onion, mushrooms, tomatoes and water. Simmer for 11⁄2 hours until meat is tender. Just before serving add cream or milk and vinegar and salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste.
