Steak with Stroganoff sauce!
Easy to make !
About
Real Stroganoff.
A great sauce with a little Vodka!
From 18th-century count Stroganoff
Yes, just like our sandwich comes from ‘Lord Sandwich’!
A Brittish statesman John Montagu, known as the 4th Earl of Sandwich.
Trying to find a good stroganoff sauce recipe can be rather painfull.
We like to think of it as a medium thick, orange to light brown colored sauce with a great,
good piece of meat; a quality steak or roastbeef and prepared with attention.
We want a tasty looking dish on our plate; Not a fried shammy under a sauce of gray
floorcloth.
Stroganoff sauce is not a pure cream sauce.
The paprika powder gives it its warm color and flavor.
For the same reasons we prefer to add some carrots and a light tomato taste accent.
We personally get a severy headache when we see a good peace of meat with sauce like
this, cut and served with pasta.. Ghee.
No, this we eat with fried potatoes; name a variation..
We found that with all the instant made sauces from the shop, Stroganoff sauce is
perhaps the one that still needs some work.
We have given one example but Stroganoff sauce is one that you should really try and
‘find out’ yourself !
