2. How Quick
Prep time for this is quick but it needs to simmer for a couple of hours.

About 2 pounds cubed beef
Onion
Garlic
Paprika
Red Wine
Salt and Pepper to taste
Sour cream

Saute beef in olive oil, garlic and chopped onion. Drain
When the beef is done, cover it completely with the red wine
and simmer for a couple of hours. Add water if needed.
When the beef is fork tender, add sour cream (about 1 carton) and
paprika to taste. Prepare noodles and serve beef over noodles.
Don't use a red wine you wouldn't drink.

cut you preference in beef into cubes small enough to fit in mouth when cooked. The cheaper, tougher the meat...the longer you'll need to cook things...I typically use round steak or chuck.

sprinkel with salt and pepper, dredge in bleached white nutritionless flour.

Boil water for Kluski noodles...

Brown beef in butter...along with

1 medium to large onion cut into strips about 1/4 wide (slicing then bisecting the slices works for me :) )

and one clove garlic--crushed

As onions approach translucence add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms.

(BTW now is a good time to put noodles into boiling water)

The natural moisture in the mushrooms will add the fluid required to make a brown sauce. If it doesn't seem like there is enough sauce, you can add a bit of milk...

As granny would say...now is coooking, coooking.

As noodles approach tenderness... add more sliced mushrooms stir sour cream into the meat sauce...

It will be done in seconds.

Total cooking time about 15 minutes (depending on flame) total prep time less then 10 minutes.

Serving will fresh cucumber spears sprinkled with dill will provide a nice "I live in the taiga" touch.

Cut meat into 1/4" strips and brown in butter. In a separate pan, saute mushrooms and add to meat. In the separate pan, saute onions and garlic and add to meat mixture. Add beef stock and wine.

6. Very simple
Edited on Sat Nov-29-03 04:30 PM by DifferentStrokes
Authentic home style Russian recipe.

A pound and a half of sirloin or other tender beef sliced thin in 1-2 inch strips
Just enough butter to coat the bottom of the fry pan
One large onion sliced
A pint of mushrooms wiped clean and sliced
1 8 oz container of sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste.

For best results, all ingredients need to be at room temperature before cooking. At the very least, don't pour cold sour cream into a hot pan.

Coat pan with butter. Fry steak at high heat. Remove and fry onions. Get the steak and onions VERY BROWN. If necessary, fry the beef in batches. Don't load the pan with so much that it cools off.

Lower heat. Add mushrooms to beef and onions, cover pan, and cook for five minutes.

Add sour cream and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and adjust seasonings. The sour cream will turn a nice warm color if you have browned the onions and steak. People who don't have to add tomato paste, steak sauce, paprika to take away the white color. Good way to ruin the dish.

Serve on cooked noodles. Optional: toss noodles with a little butter and parsley before serving.

What makes this or any other recipe is the quality of the ingredients. Use tough beef or anything but real butter or sour cream and the results will be different.

Yes, you can add garlic if you like. If you're in a real hurry use canned mushrooms.

12. Here's a good recipe
I don't know if this one is easy enough or not, but it's tasty



Beef Stroganoff for Noodles
1 pound filet mignon or mignon tips (cut into 2 inch long and 1/4 inch wide)
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 pound mushrooms, domestic or wild, caps only thinly sliced
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons flour
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons minced parsley
Salt and freshly grounded black pepper
8 ounces medium egg noodles
Heat large non-stick skillet over high heat and sear meat on all sides, for about a minutes. Work in small batches so meat does not give off liquid. Remove to a plate. In a clean wide skillet, heat butter. Sweat onions and add mushrooms and saute over until deep golden, about 20 minutes. While this is cooking, blend broth, mustard, heavy cream and sour cream together. Lower heat, add flour and cook stirring for a minute. Whisk in liquids, and any meat juices and simmer, without boiling until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Return meat to sauce and heat, without boiling until meat is warmed through. Season to taste with salt and pepper; stir in dill and parsley and spoon over noodles.
Yield: 4 servings
